I bought the shoes because they were $50. An appropriate price considering they come from sweatshop labour. Rocky, Stuart Little, Marty McFly and Patrick Star wear them, so why can't I?

They have there place in history and it's interesting to note the idealogical conflict detailed below.

From Wikipedia:

"Although Chuck Taylors are, along with Dr. Martens, still closely associated with punk fashion, punks have been the target of criticism for wearing a shoe that is ultimately manufactured by Nike, a capitalist corporation that is widely known to produce their shoes in third-world sweatshops. Because of Nike's practices, wearing Converse shoes is at odds with punk's general association with left-wing politics, particularly anarchism and some forms of revolutionary socialism. This criticism has also come from within, from punks such as Mitch Clem. Many punks now wear sweatshop-free imitations, such as those made by the Blackspot Anticorporation or No Sweat Apparel, so as to avoid such an ideological conflict."
