If it wasn’t for Avril Lavigne, I would have kept my complete ignorance about Chanel doing Converse-like sneakers. Which makes total sense, every couture house should have a fair shot at taking down the 30 bucks-a-pair legend! Right?
I, like many of you, am a Converse girl. And I treasure comfort. Looks come in close second, most of the time and I can’t get the tag thing out of my head: these Chanel sneakers are only worthy because they have Chanel written big on’em. Would you place them higher than you would a regular Converse? (click through to see larger images) (photos via)

$680 for them
I also love Converse and don’t want that name on my feet for $680? Hahahahaha, what a joke…….right!
For God’s sake! $680? I found quite expensive the ordinary Converse ( here they cost $80 more or less)!
Ahh no I would not!
Its Converse all the way for this chica! :)
I’d rather pay $680 for a pair of Loubs than this ridiculous pair of Chanel. I mean I can find a black converse and write the word down.
Expensive casual style is so boss. I can’t afford designer but I love casual looks – some of my ‘best’ and favourite outfits consist of simple t shirts and jeans. I think the word CHANEL is writ too large but if I could afford these I’d never want to take them off. I’d remove them before taking a shower of course but I’d weep buckets while doing so.
Today I bit the bullet, stepped out of character and splashed out on a NZ$210 pair of 100% leather shoes which resemble Converse. It’s the most I’ve ever paid for a pair of shoes in my life. They also look like vintage boxing boots or baseball shoes. They are my pride and joy and I know that any day I wear them will be a good day
ps
why don’t I buy Converse? I don’t buy anything online, the shops here don’t stock my size and here EVERYBODY wears Converse. I want to be a bit more individual. Plus, in NZ everything is overpriced. They might be cheap in the US but here they’re considered a designer brand
