So I've been pondering picking up a pair of Chucks (or Jack purcells or PF Flyers) for a couple of months now, and then just today, out of the blue, my girlfriend said I should get some. So I figure that's enough of a sign that I should go for it. I've never owned a pair though, and I want to make sure I get it right.
I'm gravitating towards the slip on variety in a grey sort of color. Someone posted a picture of the John Varvatos a week or so ago, and I really liked them, but yikes they are expensive for a Converse shoe. Is there anything else other than the sole that's particularly special about these?

Then I spotted these which look pretty similar minus the cool sole, and half the price.

So, what am I missing? I'd also definitely be open to similar suggestions that aren't Chuck Taylors, they just seem like the standard.
