So, thanks to the great people at Converse, we can now wear John Lennon sneakers! IMAGINE yourself wearing this shoe, and it is available NOW in Limited Sizes. Limited Edition Shoe. What better ambassador of goodwill and peace than the most universally recognized and respected shoe of all Time. Converse created this series of exclusive All Stars including the John Lennon Peace Chuck Taylor. The mid sole toe cap contains the lyrics "IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE LIVING LIFE IN PEACE" and a great looking t-shirt will be available for purchase once the shoe arrives for distribution.I dono what you all think of them (I'd love to hear), but I think the shoe is neat, and I bought a pair. It's amazing what you can find with John's name on it these days. I'm totally into the IMAGINE lyrics on the toe of the shoe, I think that's a cool feature. If you'd like to buy a pair, or see what it's all about go here: www.americanathletics.com/Detail.bok?no=6027

I've seen those before, but it was awhile ago. Thanks for posting this again, hon! I like the shoes, actually. They're a little plain for my taste, but if I had the money, I'd probably buy 'em and wear 'em.

Those are the coolest shoes EVER! Oh, that is so awesome! Converse are my favorite shoes too! Its only after I bought my first pair did I realize that both John and George wear Converse. Now I love them even more! ;D Wow, this is kinda lame bbut that just made my day!

Gdjgjbsfsasfsh,bjdf I want them! I probably won't be able to get them because my mom just bought me a new pair of converse like, last week (Another hippie pair I must say, though, peace signs) I've worn converse forever and had no idea that John and George wore them? That's awesome. I'm going to go home and bug her FOREVER

My dad says they are over the top. Which... admittedly... they probably are. But they're funny and they're cute and I want them.

Wow those are my new shoes! My friend showed me them, but I didn't know where I could buy 'em. I heart you ringorama. I could draw peace signs and everything because they're white!!
Heh, I was just complaining to my mom when she picked me up from work, that I needed new shoes. What better then these, she doesn't even have to go to the store! Yay!

Haha Converse is full of geniuses some guy was probably like "Dude, we could put John Lennon's name and a piece of his art on a shoe and all thoes people that are in love with him will rush out and buy them!" they sure do know when to use a famous name to their advantage

Oh my god, you're so right. Well I'm not getting them. It was this momentary "Woah, bloody awesome!" and then like "Yeah okay I don't need that I'd rather buy the Beatles cookbook" XD Nerd. I know.

Yeah, that's totally the angle. Anyway, I know I don't need them either. I'm happy with the Converse knockoffs I got at Payless, for only $19.99!
