Stan Smith classics (from the Originals line), are much much nicer than the run of the mill Foot Locker Stan Smith 2's or Japanese Stans. The Originals classics have a nice satiny finish, less visual branding, etc. Much classier effect than the 2's. I saw some recently on: www.pickyourshoes.com I want a pair of the black ones, I bought the white ones awhile back...

Most of the Varvatos stuff for converse looks pretty plain to me, except for the leather ones and the ones with lots of holes.
