    Tenth Anniversary
    Remembering from my last Converse purchase a while back, they had a Converse tag on them which I think had a hologram on it...does it have that? It was a while ago when I bought my last pair and these ones are on their way!

    Is there a possibility they could be fake? I've never had Converse before so I can't compare, but the rubberised strip round the toe, the label on the back of the shoe and the logo stamp on the side all look a bit cheapy. The toe strip doesn't look even. It might just be the look but I'm not sure. Can anyone verify?

    These are from Amazon, NOT a marketplace seller, they would be strung up!! :eek: This is my fourth pair that I have bought and they all look the same! If you don't like Converse, send them back but even if you think the quality isn't to your liking, £9 is very cheap for a pair of shoes. I think I am very nearly offended, you got a bargain and now you are complaining. :rotfl:

    I too feel the same when mine arrived today.Did not have any logo stamp and also noticed the uneven strip round the logo.

    OR, of course sell them to someone else for £20 and make a profit.:rotfl:

    So should they have a hologram label attached, as mine didn't? Would explain £9 price!

    No, I have bought a few pairs and they have never had that label (even in the 80s), if Amazon were selling them cheap as they had knock-offs without hologram labels how much trouble do you think they would be in??? They are the genuine article at a bargain price, what is wrong with everyone???

    Converse are made in factories in vietnam, china etc. They will never be consistent in quality. £9.... bargain! :D
