Glad to see you back at Beatlelinks, beatlemethisbeatlemethat! Don't stay away so long.

Thanks for the link. There is also a topic in Abbey Road about the new shoe. It's John Lennon meets Chuck Taylor!. Check it out.

The shoe looks weird.......lol but, I would buy it just to put it on the shelf or something like that I dont want to spoil shoes you nvr know when they are going to be important in the future.

I want to get some and then just put them up. That is when I get the money.

OMG, I would NEVER take those shoes off! I would wear them all the time and they would be my babys!

To Do List:
1) Go to Journey's. See if they're comming out with Lennon Coverse!!!

I went to my local Journeys, and the manager hadn't ever even heard of them. He looked at me like I was crazy and had made them up...better just order them myself!

You can either order them online OR just put in your zip code and it will give you the store (s) nearest you...good luck. I got mine at Mr. Maury's shoes in dowtown Los Angeles.

I personally find the shoes ugly. I won't get them, but I respect that other people find them pleasant and will probably enjoy wearing them.

I like Converse in general, but I really think the John shoes are ugly. The color sucks, the little drawing is OVERDONE. hahaha Give us Lennon fans a break! Come up with something new.

Herein lies the problem with anything Beatles-related. Nothing new is ever given to us. Just repackaging of the same old crap. haha Oh well.

Maybe if they let me customize it. Maybe I'd buy the Lennon shoe if I could get it in orange or pink.

I actually really want those. I went to Journeys but they weren't in stock. My parents are gonna (I think) buy them for me for Crimbo... they mentioned it. I have me own Chucks but they're low top and black.

Oh! and on one site I saw, it says that they had Imagine all the people living life in peace on the toe!
