Converse Conversation with a Clerk
Clerk: My son is six months.
Me: That's neat--very fun time.
Clerk: I just bought him his first Converse [sneakers].
Me: Cute.
Clerk: That was a battle.
Me: A battle?
Clerk: His mom hates Converse.
Me: Oh. ... Why does she hate Converse?
Clerk: You know. She's one of those.
I wonder what "one of those" is? A hater of sneakers? A hater of shoes? A hater of what seems like a relatively benign brand? Other guesses?

My theory is that Mom is a Nike girl -- but when selecting for someone who's gonna outgrow within 6 months, who cares? Sheesh.
Yeah, could be Converse is "low rent."
Yeah, definitely a Nike girl.
