From my 13 to 18 i pretty much only wear converse all-stars. It was my unifrom. Literally walked everywere wearing them until they rip apart. At they were crazy cost effective.
Last year I ended up losing my gym shoes (I forgot them at my girlfriend's house, and we broke up, and I did not want to see her) and decided to get another pair of Converse again. Literally lasted 6 months of gym before poking a hole in the sole. This is insane, i only wear them at the gym, and pretty much only run 2km top, the rest was just weights and stuff. I also notice that the cushing was way, way worse than it used to be. Before they had a soft rubber, and now it was just a scrap piece of PVA.
And is not like Converse is cheap nowadays. You can buy a quality leather boots for the same price, like, wtf?
