Converse and free love have always seemed to go hand in hand as the light stitch slip-on canvas screams naturalistic wonder.

The new Converse Skid Grip EV trainers are the typical Converses, but with a more girlie touch, still masculine enough for a male to pull off.

Priced at a comfortable $61.79 on sale at overkill.com from a $92.72 list price you can be the red bird in your bluebird group. Not quite following, take a close look at the front of the Converse slip-on trainers and you can see the odd bird out chilling within his buddies.

With a white thick sole typical of the Converse trainer style, the gray edging helps give the birds a masculine feel, and the red bird is a constant conversation starter for anyone looks over at your shoes.

Think Dr. Seuss and his one bird, two bird, red bird, blue bird but add some eyes and black feet and you have the trainers’ lovely blue print design overlaid on a very thin plaid background.

Why the birds? Who cares, grab the Converse Skin Grip EV trainers, grab a mic, grab an emo kid, and you have yourself a little concert in your trainers.
