    Fake Converse look nothing like 'the real deal', sorry. Wouldn't bother tbh.

    My friend got a pair before in Pennys for E6. Looked pretty similar.
    That was a while back. Try there or New Look.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,179 ✭✭✭FunkZ


    Yeah I'm pretty sure Pennys and Dunnes used to sell them anyway, check there so


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 419 ✭✭beaushalloe


    you can get the real deal on the converse ireland website for 55 yoyos, imo would be worth waiting and putting a few quid aside. theyll look bettler and last longer, (and keep your feet fresher!!)

    Converse is already cheap, you really shouldnt bother. Converse is a nice, timeless, classic style and the cheap ones just look nasty and wont last. Buy online and im sure youll find something cheaper than 55eur

    Well if she says can't afford Converse, she can't, no point telling her to pull money out of thin air if she doesn't have any to spare.

    Ballerina, I saw some lookylikeys last year in new look, and in next. Dunno if they still have them at this stage but they were about 15 quid or something.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 130 ✭✭brid_m

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    The real deal are only like €50, isn't that cheap for runners?

    They used to be e35 but then Nike bought em


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 939 ✭✭✭chicken_food


    Fraid not jdivision-35e was the Kids Converse price, while the adults one range from 45-55e. I work very closely with nike and they have consistantly tried to keep the costs the same before and after the buy out. They making less profit per shoe due to rising labour wages (no joke) and inflation. Also the base of the shoe now benefits from comfier e.v.a foam, which also last longer.

    Check returns. Retail establishments often sell them at a discount, though sizing will be a problem.

    Thanks for the help

    just to clarify some stuff- i only looked in one place and they were 105 euro so i thought they were always that dear.i bought my pair in new york for fifteen dollars....

    and anyway they were for a friend as a thanks for doing a favour,she doesnt like converse but im always teelling her she should get them so thats why i didnt want to spend that much on them!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,861 ✭✭✭Poxyshamrock


    105? :O

    They're only 55 in schuh!


  • Registered Users Posts: 473 ✭✭Ballerina

    [My bolding]
    If she doesn't like them then why in the world would you buy them as a gift for her, let alone fake ones?


    Also, I've never seen Converse at e105. Even limited edition versions aren't that expensive.


  • Registered Users Posts: 473 ✭✭Ballerina


    jesus why did i even bother posting here!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    the €105 thing is completely made up, no converse cost that


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,461 ✭✭✭Max_Damage


    Paying any money for what are effectively clown shoes is ridiculous IMO.
