Converse Comfort: Old, New, No Hassel

Virtual Scuff on Converse, Gunning NSW 8 April 2020

The 'virtual scuff' - isolation has created new ways of expressing envy, it seems.

Can I help it I look this cool when wearing Converse?

I've had numerous pairs of Chuck Taylor Hi-Top Converse, but always in black. My Converse have met some awesome people.

I've learnt a lot from my Converse. My Converse taught me how to greet people while social distancing.

I try not to Hassel the Hoff but my Converse keep leading me to him.

Sometimes I need a little more than just my Converse for support. I recently turned to the catwalk for assistance with my home office WHS compliance.

My old Converse started to get really comfortable in Germany. They enjoy the life of the mind.

When one's Converse start to feel really comfortable, however, they are on their last legs.

When Converse get old, they feel too comfortable.

So now I have new Converse.

They are comfortable in a different way.

Alas, a virtual scuff from envy. But new Converse bring the perfect mix of glamour and grunge.
