    Converse is a subsidiary of Nike.

    Nike is apparently considering donating to trumps ballroom https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/nike-gets-major-backlash-for-survey-on-funding-trump-s-ballroom/ar-AA22JXGO

    The co-founder of Nike and largest individual shareholder is billionaire Phil Knight, who also spent a few million trying to get republicans elected in Oregon https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2025/11/nike-co-founder-phil-knight-makes-record-setting-donation-to-help-elect-republicans.html

    Thank you. I know this might just be a news article, but considering how much advertising occurs through social media accounts these days, we can never really know. Either way, it's important to remember that no matter what publicity stunts a company pulls, that doesn't negate the evil shit they do.

    Would be nice if their shoes lasted for more than 1-2 years :/

    Tbh, that's better than a lot of clothing that's available right now. Quality has turned to shit across the board. I've got some clothes I bought last year that are already becoming thread-bare. Yet the clothes I wore as a teen managed to survive being in my regular rotation through my early 20s. If I had a pair of shoes that could last 2 years despite daily use, I'd be quite surprised.

    I was going to make a comment about rainbow capitalism, but I really like these.

    I mean, they're cool, but probably not $160 cool. My question would be: do they offer them year-round, or only during June?

    That's Australian dollars mind you. And I think it's a limited run.

    Not sure your issue, but high-quality insoles helped me.

    Huh, I'll definitely remember that when it's time to get new shoes. Maybe i should buy a couple pairs now, before they sell out.

    It's too bad converse shoe toeboxes are like elbow shaped and not toes shaped

    Hell yeah, been wearing these shoes most of my life.

    I wish the rainbow was vertical, pants are going to cover up half the rainbow.
