While I am all for marketing the iconic Converse brand, Zappos.com isn't really offering a massively low price point. I remember buying a pair like the one pictured here for $22 max in the '90s. The cheapest ones I found on this "sale site" are $45. Yes, cheaper than many sneakers, but the materials and technology that goes into Chucks are simply less expensive.
