    Question Rainbow sneakers?

    Hi,

    Has anybody seen rainbow colored sneakers / tennis shoes in Hong Kong? I know I can order online, but I want to try them on to ensure fit first. Such as in the pics would be perfect! The deeper colored are apparently Converse, but their website in HK did not show any such on this market... Name:  converse-all-star-low-rainbow-shoe.jpg

    why not go and try some converse on at a shop here, and then order online? Converse are consistent with their sizing I have found. I haven't seen anything like that here, plus it would be horrendously expensive compared to shipping it in. My daughter is converse / Vans crazy but the best styles and prices are always to be had overseas. Unless you do copy crap from China.

    Thanks kimwy66, a very common-sense advice to try on size in shop here to use for ordering online. Maybe I am bad at Googling but could not find any online shop that would sell the actual Converse in those rainbow colors. I just used image search to get some picture examples to attach to my question, and when saving them the deeper color pic name revealed they are Converse...
    Meanwhile did come across one seller on Etsy who does beautiful handpainted custom colors on Vans for example, so I can maybe try on Vans here and then order from Etsy.

    If you can find it on Amazon, ship it to a re-shipping company like ShipBao (I regularly buy my shoes from Amazon - nothing fancy, just a bucket load cheaper) and ship to ShipBao. There are a few local companies that do this.

    My last purchase was a pair of Teva walking sandals ($60USD vs $1000+HKD). Shipping was HK$ 75 from their Delaware warehouse to my office in Wong Chuk Hang.

    I have even bought from ebay, where a number of sellers offer free-ish shipping within the US as opposed to US$ 30-50 to HK.

    Seems to have been a limited edition LGBT sneaker from the summer

    Some are on ebay though.
