Converse or not

The winner of the Swedish qualification for Eurovision Song Contest is Anna Bergendahl. She was singing in the first runner up contest in her red Converse shoes, combined with a pink girly dress. Pretty cool looks. However, Swedish Television didn´t like this PR-trick and forbid her to use those shoes at the final show. Guess what she did then? She borrowed her sisters´old shoes - the same color, the same model, but they were copies without a brand.

People at Converse are supposed to be sulky about this. They shouldn´t be. Most people know that she wanted to wear her Converse, and when she was forbidden to do so she found a way to look almost the same. It was great branding for Converse, although she wasn´t in their shoes.

I am not a fan of copies, but sometimes they have a good purpose.
