Nice master piece. Plz add my blog: http://abedrabo.blogspot.com
Very impressive!! My daughter one has one pair at a time, but once her feet stop growing, I'm sure she'll be like not-wife--a pair to go with everything!
THanks all for you comments. These are but a part of the love of my life's Converse collection. Me? I wear Vans out of the office (and sometimes in the office too!)
I scrolled down and was really interested in the story about the ice man. I remember when they found him. Nice to know he went down with a fighting spirit!
Welcome to Photo Hunters! What a great group pf people! I love your shoes! They would go with any sporting event! lol..My photo is up, please come and visit
Ooooooh, I LOVE those shoes. I use to wear them mismatched back in high school. I was some kind of preppy rebel! My son has a camo pair and a Jolly Roger set too that are tres cool.

Geee... how many pairs of "sneakers" can one girl have? Hahaha. Great entry, Jams. Welcome to Photo Hunters.
Everyone is invited over to see my take on todays theme. Hope to see you there.
Thanks all. Ah red, it's worse - she buys her own from teh sweat of her brow. I just pay teh mortgage and clean the toilet!
Look at all those! I love the red ones!
Very funny description of your "not-wife!" Nice collection. She must have a color for every outfit! Welcome to Photo Hunters!
Lots of Converse, eh?? I'm sure Imelda doesn't have that in her collection. LOL!
I love the colors! They're very cool, especially the orange one :)
Happy weekend!

Again thanks all for your kind comments!
