Snappy-P inspired my love (and obsession) of Converse All Slips and both Snappy-P and Allee have inspired me to explore color more and more and more and more…… I mean Snappy-P and Allee have both inspired me artistically but I had no idea these 2 ladies would also inspire my footwear. The solid colors are inspired by Snappy-P and the high tops represent Allee Willis. That’s right folks, “Still Life In Sneakers”.

I’m most happy, as I’m sure Snappy P is, to have inspired such lovely creations on the feet. I want to see the hightops on the end of the middle row closer that look like they have comic book frames or something on them. I also like that you have two pairs of orange. I always have backups of my favorite colors and styles.
denny
I bought the high tops so fast (in Chinatown – LA) that I didn’t realize til later that they were Converse “knock-offs”. I retired those sneaks and they are now on the feet of the guy who owns the gym that I go to.

Oh man!! I am am a converse FANATIC!!! But, I refuse to wear anything produced by NIke (no offense, NIke Lovers, but NIke totally destroyed one of the all time greatest American designed and manufactured products). I have too many pairs of chuck and jacks to admit to publicly, but I will say that these days, they are the only shoes I wear and (hopefully!) if I live a long life, I won’t run out! Oh yeah…I even have a pair of chucks that are zebra striped and they glow in the dark…maybe I’ll post a few of the “best of”….
Allee Willis
YES! Post chucks. Jealous already of glow-in-the-darks.
denny
Stop right there! I’ll tell you what I am DYING to get a hold of. I saw a pair of clear vinyl, high top Converse sneakers!!!!!! I was flipping out! It was the only time in my life that I wished I wore a size 8 sneaker. Converse, oh yeah.
For all your converse needs, try zappos.com.
They are now making Converse open toed sandal/flip flop/ type of shoe..
Allee Willis
I’ve seen regular clear converse sneakers but never high tops. Are you sure you’ve seen hightops?
denny
YES! Clear high tops! Where did you see the low cut ones? I want them!
Allee Willis
Low-cut ones are on Zappos and a bunch of other places. Where did you see the hightops? I did a Google search and couldn’t find any.
denny
I saw them at a church thrift shop out here on the Cape. I think that’s where I spotted them. I clearly remember having a fit over them. Low cut ones on Zappos? I’ve been there and didn’t see them. What are they called so I can do a search for them? I’m tempted.
Allee Willis
Remember the search terms I used but probably ‘ clear Converse’ should find them. There were at least eight pairs on eBay too.
denny
Thanks. I need a size 11. I’ll keep looking!
