Hey Zac, I liked those same 3 pairs you picked up. I also was not a fan of the black / blue pair. Turns out, everyone had the same idea, leaving that black pair to sell out the slowest. Nice review! And great tip on sizing a full size down, Converse can look clownish otherwise. I also like to recommend lacing the shoelaces outside going in, instead of inside going out. That way they look cleaner and more like the promotional pictures.
