In my first year at college, I set the arbitrary and slightly unreasonable goal of reaching 5”10’ by the time I turned 21. And now that I’ve reached my adulthood, I’m saddened at my humble 5”9.5’…Thankfully, I managed to get a hold of Converse’s most recent Run Star Hike drop and can safely reach my dream height at the drop of a shoe (literally). Originally a collab with English designer J.W. Anderson, the Run Star Hike merges a Classic Chuck Taylor with the sole of a hiking boot. The platform converse are both cool and classic AND comfortable, though I’ll admit, they scraped my ankles up at the start. For anyone looking to buy a staple sneaker with a little bit of an edge, I absolutely recommend a pair of RSH’s, especially if you’re also looking for a little bit of extra height to reach those unattainable cups in the top shelf!
