Converging in style and comfort

When I bought my red faux-Chuck Taylors from No Sweat Apparel a few months ago someone asked me where I thought I was going to get to wear them.

I certainly could not rock them while doing my gang coverage -- Bloods favor red Chucks but don't like poseurs wearing them, while Crips will break your legs for wearing them in their neighborhoods.

But I broke them out for ConvergeSouth this past weekend.

David Hoggard gave me a little grief for them, but it was worth it. They helped me keep it light in a session that got way too stiff and serious.
