HOW WILL YOU GET YOUR SHOES DIRTY?
#whiteconverseproject
In 2015, I got a pair of white converse for Christmas. I hated them.
It wasn't for the right reasons either. I thought white converse were basic. I wanted to be unique, and I wanted to be adventurous. But it was from these shoes that this entire website was born.
I went to the Missile Launch site one time and took the photo shown below. I liked it so much that I started taking them everywhere, and I pushed myself to bring my shoes to as many places as I could that I wasn't supposed to be. Sometimes I brought friends, sometimes friends brought me. I was determined to turn them black by the end of the summer, before I went to college. Ask my how my shoes look now. I dare you. All I'm saying is that I don't call them my "white converse" anymore - no one would believe me.
