CONVERSE 'SKOOTS' NAZI-ERA SNEAKERS

eBay is an amazing platform. If you want it, it's gotta be on eBay (or at least, was or will be at one time). eBay seller Mad4Mod Vintage of Columbus, Ohio recently sold a super-duper rare find, a pair of Nazi-era Converse Skoots for a staggering 1825 bucks!

I know some of you out there are getting all pissy, thinking to yourselves 'how the fuck?! what the hell?! Nazi sympathizing Converse?!' Chill, I don't think Converse said anything like 'hey, let's make sneakers for the future genocidal maniac, soon to be known as Hitler.' when these Skoots were originally produced. Take 'em for what they are...rare Converse memorabilia. Remember, emo-music did not invent Converse, they've been kickin' around since 1917.
