Although these vintage Converse kicks may look like your average shoes, look closer because these designs won't be holding anyone's smelly feet. The Converse Pencil Case from CoolPencilCase.com will blow your socks off.

Just like your regular shoe selection, the cases come in a variety of colors including dark blue, hot pink, tan, red, light blue and black. Pick the shoe of your choice and fill up your new back-to-school pencil case with any school supplies.
