Fake converse in high street stores?Been looking for converse the past while and everywhere seems to have them, full retail obviously
Topman
Schuh
Republic
and various others...in fact anywhere that was selling them, was selling fakes.
What the ****ing deal?
I care because they are cheaply made and are all at full retail, if I'm paying 40 quid I want the authentics. -

Re: Fake converse in high street stores?I can guarantee they aren't, he really means shoes of a similar design without the converse logo.(Original post by SirMasterKey)

Re: Fake converse in high street stores?Do you mean you want cheap shoes that look like converse or do you want actual converse but you don't want to pay more than £40 for them?
If it's the later, get some second hand ones from a vintage shop, the ones I've seen are in the region of £15-£25 for a plain pair. -

Re: Fake converse in high street stores?TK Maxx often have the real ones in at a far cheaper price.(Original post by chrislpp)

Re: Fake converse in high street stores?Schuh sells real converses :/ http://m.schuh.co.uk/product.aspx?icode=1902723270 one of the many they sell...
Your looking at ridiculously priced shops for 'fake' converses, Primark and New Look do the similar style for like £15 (quality - whatever, but you're getting ripped off from Topshop) -

Why not get something else other then if you wanna look same as other people. Converse are overrated. -

Re: Fake converse in high street stores?I don't really understand what the problem is? Do you want real converse? (in which case, you can get them from Schuh, footlocker etc. or online) or is the issue that the fakes are as expensive as the real ones?
