Chuck Taylors, With An Emphasis on Chuck Taylors With All Kinds of Shit Painted on Them.

First of all, you must be under 22 to wear Chuck Taylors. Chuck Taylors do not constitute adult footwear. If you need evidence that they're not made for adults, look no further than the fact that they come in plaid, pink, and with 50 Cent's face plastered all over them. Generally companies trying to reach adult markets avoid decorating their products in this manner.

I know, I know, you really loved the Replacements and the Ramones in high school, and wearing Chucks was part of your identity. Everybody likes lots of things in high school, like drinking Purple Passion, squeezing their zits and masturbating furiously 4 times a day. That doesn't you mean you continue this behavior into your late 30's. Maybe the masturbating.

There are only 3 reasons to wear Chuck Taylors:

1. You have not yet reached the point of maturation.
2. You have never had sex.
3. You are an asshole.

Or you just like being on the list. I guess that makes 4.
