Why are these so popular /fa/? It seems like everywhere I go on my campus people are wearing them or talking about buying them. Is it because they're comfortable or is it just because they are a name brand?
They look good.

they're cheap and extremely versatile.

>is it because they're comfortable
Not at all, they fucking suck in terms of support. All they are is classic low top shoes that everyone can wear
Sorority girls a required to wear them because it's part of their rush uniforms.
I see them as very feminine now. Do you ever see guys wearing these? It's only women.

I have no idea what a rush uniform is nor are Converse mainly worn by sorority girls.

Rushing is when you are trying to get into a sorority. It's the same thing as "pledging" to a fraternity.

I see men and women, fucking dogs, babys even niggers and beaners wear this shit, its every persons fall back on, wore them when i was 8 years old. They are cool when you are that age
Every white bitch I know in SF has them

rush is a term for when you try and get into a sorority/frat
you just go to their 'events' for a week or two and if they like you you get a 'bid' from one of the members and then you're a 'pledge' or a member who isn't a full memeber and you gotta do like a semester/quarter as a pledge (aka being everyones bitch) and then you're a member
they're just really common shoes OP
i think everyone has owned a pair of converse at a point in their life
i don't even think it's marketing
everyone owning them means that you should have a pair too right?
its just like stan smiths
but on a bigger scale
They are cheap, widely available, and very versatile.

>cheap
>decent looking
>socially acceptable
>>10666194
guess that would depend on their university but it's definitely true here
The social acceptability point is a big one for sorority girls. It's a big thing in the Greek system in general. It's kind of sad watching those kids try to explore their fashion interest with those mandatory blinders on
>>10664605
I own a pair.
Currently trying to dirty and wear them out to summon the essence of The Strokes.
>>10666102
