Dolce & Gabanna Quilted Patent Leather Sneaker, $295, Neiman Marcus

Please tell me that by now you all know that I LOVE, LUST, and WORSHIP Converse's Chuck Taylors. Whenever I see a pair, new or old, I instantly light up and become so giddy and happy! I never could identify if it was the shape or style that did it for me.

When I saw that these Converse-esque shoes by Dolce, for some reason they didn't do it for  me. I mean, they look like they are just missing the converse tag on the back of the sole. Also, they are by Dolce & Gabanna and patent leather and quilted; all things I love in fashion! I am at a lost.

Why don't I light up for these damn near identical Chucks??!?!? What has Chuck Taylor done to me?
