My first pair were sky blue. I was 11 years old and playing basketball seriously for the first time in middle school. Converse Chuck Taylors had all the ankle support that canvas sewn to rubber could give you, which was not much. When my wife and I were married, we showed up at the reception with our dress shoes off and black (his) and white (hers) Chuck Taylors on our feet. Our dressy dress shoes were not conducive to the Chicken Dance.
Now my 10-year old daughter is in on the action, but with more of a fashion statement in mind than ankle support.

Do you remember your first pair?
