I got me some new Chucks today.
Red ones. Red canvas Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars. An American classic shoe. The shoe that's been around since 1923 (according to the key tag that came with my pair). The shoe that has been seen on the feet of rock and roll rebels, beatniks and cool cats, hippies and psychedelic acid freaks, stoners and punks, grungers, goths and emos. The shoe that's never gone out of style, and to be honest I don't think it ever will go out of style.
The smell of them, that rubbery, earthy smell reminded me of when I was a child and I got my first pair of Chucks. I was 8, they were black with a white toe, and they were cool.
They're still cool.
