For $22 it's totally legit. Aside from the missing Converse logo, the only thing that's a little different is that the show's tongue is a bit wider than a regular pair of Chucks, but when your shoes are tied, no one can see that. That being said, the bottom of the shoe has a different design than the regular chucks so the footprint of these boots is a little different, but again they are amazing for less than half the price of the regular chucks.
