I am not at all into these corset chucks. i think they’d look weird bunched up in the back. in my opinion not a cute look.

Love them! For someone with scrawny ankles like me, these would be a life saver! Hahal. I think they’re adorable.

I think anyone with a little imagination can pull these off. Good idea.

I think they’re HOT!! I’d buy a pair if hightop Chucks didn’t cut me wrong

adorable! hard to find a new look in sneakers, this could be it!

I don’t need specialty shoes to do that, I wrap my laces around to the back regaurdless, the laces are too damn long.

I’m not into it either. The texture & color & lace-up are a lot to pull off, and you would have to contrast style and color. Although it could be a stylish effect on a guy.
Overall, not what I would go for but would go right into the fluokid wave

good!!!

Uh, really awkward. Sure, they’re different, but the corset style definitely doesn’t match that style of shoe. Not only that, but the lace for that throws it off as well. The design makes the shoe look like someone made a whoopsie when creating it.
But at the same time, I can see how others might like it. In summation, I like the idea, but the finished product is lacking in taste.

I think it’s an excellent idea but the finished product isn’t what I would have done. Instead of using shoelaces i would have used lace and not bunched it so much. A corset doesn’t look like that. A corset is supposed to make you look smooth and thinner. This makes the sneaker look rouched not corsetted. Overall a great idea though. I like that converse is reaching out imaginatively.

These are just “eh” to me. love corsets in general and could see this happening with shoes or even the calf height Chucks, but not with these.

they could have done a WAY better job with this idea. it looks all bunched up in the back, not cute and not “sexy” like a “corset” should be. and whats with the color?

OMG!!! I love them!!!!

looks really awkward, to be honest. I wouldn’t buy them!
but guess it depends on how they look while on your feet.

bad idea in my opinion. i agree with carizza about how they look awkward. also it’s totally overdone, too many laces. not a good over-all look.

I love it! I love the ruched effect, it’s a cute twist on converse shoes =}
