Vintage-Style Sneakers

Do any of you wear old-school canvas high top sneakers, like Converse? Do you think it looks stupid past a certain age?

What about other vintage sneakers? I see that Adidas and Nike have been bringing back some of their old styles from the 70s, or never stopped making them.

I've gotten the bug for a pair of low tech sneakers. Sneakers without carbon fiber, air chambers, high tech mesh, radio transmitters, GPS receivers, etc.

When I was a kid I remember getting the new PF Flyers, and how fast I could run with the new sneaks. In high school I remember cross-country races in my Adidas Country sneaks. You can still buy PF Flyers and Countrys today. Can't remember what I wore for tennis. K-Swiss maybe?

Thinking about getting a pair of high-top Chuck Taylors. My daughter wears them, look great with her new Stringray bike.
