They're officially back! But, let's be honest, were they ever really 'out?' White Converse have been a staple in many a wardrobe, regardless of style categories. From punk to preppy, these shoes have been the perfect complement to numerous casual ensembles.
Recently, however, I have noticed an overabundance of these white sneakers on campus. What makes me consider the revival of the white Converse is its pristine color - only recently purchased Converse have that white brilliance.
While it is apparent that they're making a comeback, UO students are not only buying the low top version, but the high top version as well. We've seen Chris' low top option before (here), but Audrey Gloss' high tops are more of a style challenge. Here, she pairs her Converse with denim cut-offs and a tie-dye tank - the perfect outfit for those rare sunny Eugene days.
Considering that the high top is a more risky option, I asked Audrey why she chose this Converse version. Her response? Family tradition. From her father to her mother, high tops have been the Converse of choice in the Gloss family.
So whether you opt for high or low top, you can be certain that these classics are becoming, once again, the sneaker of choice.
