I have been lusting after these grey Converse All-Stars-turned-trousers by designer Daryl Van Wouw for a while. They are a part of his Converse Extension 1 Project.
Now it seems Daryl Van Wouw has taken his obsession to the next level with a series of five variations of the extreme trousers inspired by the Converse All-Star. I remain in lust with the thigh high sexy grey ones. The knitted ones are a bit too random, while the brown ones look too lumberjack for my tastes, but every one of these trousers has an awesome design.
