All-Star 91 x Converse


Seeing how I talked about these, I thought I'd make a post about another Dennis Rodman pro model Converse shoe. Way back in grade 5, my mom dropped a bundle to get me the All-Star 91s. They were the first shoes I've owned priced well above $100 and came with a free hat, poster and a temporary tattoo [which I lost]. My parents were the shit to get 'em for me at only 10 years old - so it has sentimental value on it. Not only that, I got the matching t-shirts, zip-up, and tear-aways [remember those?] that went along with these sneakers. A year later, a bunch of these went on sale at a National Sports, where they set out loose pairs on tables. My mom wanted to buy them for me again, but his off-court issues I've learned of made me steer clear of The Worm's direction and passed. Looking back, however, I wish I bought every pair in every size to wear everday of my life. These are my favourite basketball shoes of all time. If the Rodmans are ever reproduced, I'll be the first one in the store to grab them regardless of its price.







Word to the wise, if there are kicks that mean a lot to you - don't let 'em go.


Can you picture any other basketball player with these on? Only Dennis Rodman can get away with it.
