The Knit Converse Sneakers are just the ticket to show off your sci-fi savvy while keeping cozy. The sweet kicks are created using classic Converse sneakers and applying a hand-knit appliqué. Created by Etsy user Pretty Sneaky, the Knit Converse Sneakers come in an array of different designs including Nintendo characters, Star Wars spacecrafts, Dr. Who-themed as well as super hero logos.
These shoes are the perfect way to add texture and warmth to the otherwise basic sneaker that has come to be a cultural icon. While the original Converse hightop will run you about $50, the Knit Converse Sneakers from Pretty Sneaky go for $130 a pair and are custom-made in the size and design you desire.
