There are really great converse scenes in this Australian teen show. Cariba Heine who plays Rikki, one of the three main girls of the show, is definitely a converse girl. She wears black low-tops on pretty much all the episodes of season 2. Indiana Evans, who plays Bella, wears hi-tops in episode 2 of season 3.

Thanks for that helpful information! I'm almost through Season 1. After a promising start with Cariba wearing Keds or a knockoff brand in Episode 1, I was disappointed that the subsequent episodes of the season featured mainly slip-ons (which don't really do it for me). It appears that some wardrobe tweaks were made for Season 2, making it more appealing to me.

BTW...Jonathan Schiff Productions, producer of H20, also produced the more-recent Bureau Of Magical Things; it's been discussed in one of the SG forums. There's still no word on whether Season 3 will happen. I hope it does, because the show's had consistent good sneaker content!

Several years after H2O: Just Add Water wrapped production, Jonathan Shiff Productions created a sequel series called Mako Mermaids with a similar premise. In addition to the three young mermaids (different actors), a teenage boy transforms into a merman; the episodes center on these four characters. There also seems to be more humor in this show. It lasted four seasons (2013-2016) and is currently available on Netflix.

I'm happy to report there is no shortage of sneakers in this program -- mainly Converse or knockoffs. I can't help but wonder if Shiff or someone on his production team has a sneaker fetish. I need to find several more series he produced to help me make this determination. Anyhow, enjoy these screen captures from a couple early episodes!
