Nike & Converse

I never knew that Converse was owned by Nike. It makes really good sense, though. Converse are soo amazingly popular here in Japan now. It seems that ALL the kids (and Matt & Cam) are wearing them!

I LOVE this photo!

If you are ever interested in getting a higher quality Converse that have thicker removable running insoles in them (to prevent the massive knee pain I get from my beloved Chuck Taylors), leather, etc. take a look at the Jack Purcell models. They are more expensive, but they are also of a higher quality. Very very nice...

Off to Ikea.

I love you!

  3. What'd you get at IKEA?

    Is Nike still a problem company as fart as worker exploitation?
    I'd hate to be supporting that kinda thing, but i do luv my Chucks!

  4. A round candle, some candle dishes so the wax doesn't drip onto stuff, some ziplocks, two plastic plants (one for the black bathroom that has no light ever), and that's about it... I think. I forget.

    Heading to bed now (just got out of the shower). Have a good day.

  6. I don't understand the Converse craze.

    When I was in school, only the "special" kids wore them, now everyone's wearing the damn things - including my own kids.

  7. lol... I was Ikea yesterday too... GMTA?

    I passed on the cute round (on sale!) candles... but got four pillows (needed them) and a really cool picture poster with a frame....

    Love Ikea, spent a whopping 15 dollars or so...

  8. Japan has IKEA? Dimland must be the only place in the world not to have one.

    Have to say, I don`t really understand the Converse thang either.

    I've worn chucks since the mid 80's. Before they were popular. ... kept wearing them when they became popular in the 90's... then when they went out.... yep. Still wore them.

    And... now... they're back again.


    I'm so cool.
