Getting your first pair of Converse sneakers is more than just a pair of new shoes. It is a coming of age moment. The point in a young person's life when they start exploring their own sense of style and comfort, and what better way to begin that journey than with a classic pair of Chucks.

Converse has a special place in our heart. The shoes are lightweight, comfortable, and the colours are so fun. The brand really offers something for everyone. So here's a list of 8 sneaker brands that emulate the best bits of Converse, and make great, evergreen canvas shoes. And we've covered price points from INR 500 and up. 

Rivir Shoes - Sunflower Season

If we had to describe Rivir's aesthetic in a phrase, it would be 'Converse, but cooler'. The shoes have the coolest motifs such as eyes, sunflowers, popsicles, and more printed on the shoes digitally. 

These sunflower shoes add an edge to a simple style, and add a fun pop of colour to even the most monochrome of outfits.

VANS - Old Skool

Vans are a sustainability enthusiasts dream come true. This pair is not only super light, despite being comfortable and having ample padding, but also a pair of these shoes lasts for a good four to five years (even with regular wear, yes). The shoes are good for your feet, and durable too, and we feel that their pricing is pretty justified just for these reasons.
