They would look good in a dumpster

I'm a big fan of the Gorillaz, are converse in general unacceptable?

I'm of the opinion that more important the the cloth itself, is how it fits your style, and that as long as it's of good quality, everything have it's place.

That said, gorilazz converse will make you look underage&retarded IMO. But hey, clothes are a way to express yourself.

My only advice is to go with some simple, one color jeans or shorts (the converse already have too much information for your botton area). For more in-depth info, post a bit about your bodytype, skin color etc. Or even better: give those to some homeless guy and buy decent shoes, you will have a hard time finding something worse than what you currently have.

Looks like it's time to go back to the sticky, these will have to remain a guilty pleasure.

Just because you like the band doesnt mean buy their merch.

Make sure they look good and you're not doing it because you like the music, see metal shirts

Distressed converse is the only acceptable converse. Shit like OPs reminds me of the swagfag girls who rock the batman and green lantern converse shoes when they haven't read a sing DC Comic in their pathetic hip lives.

I don't want anything remotely close to a metal shirt, but it seems shoes are supposed to be even more understated than the rest of the outfit.

I was posting it as a good example of band clothing, I know they're not metal

I'm going to assume this isn't a troll. What did you expect we'd say?
"Aw, man! Sweet cop! I love the Gorillaz because I'm a 16 year old high schooler and I choose to show this by wearing gaudy/inexpensive converse!"
They're awful, tacky, too busy, gross colors, and putting Gorillaz on there just hammers the final nail. No matter how great your outfit is (even if it's full rick, yohji, ann d, whatever) the shoes will bring them down a peg.

Are the shoes complete garbage? Not if you like them, but don't post them here because we don't.

OP here

To be fair I expected some harsh criticism, I checked the sticky and there was no specific mention of converse. I got exactly what I came for, next time I'll buy more understated shoes.

We're not hating because you specificalyl bought converse we're hating you because you bought graphic converse and now you spent like £50 to look like a 15 year old lmao

yeah, converse aren't bad (a tad uncomfortable) but certainly not bad. Just gotta avoid the overly graphic ones.
