What does it mean ? What does "low-tops" mean? There was such context in the text: "I traded my Converse black low-tops for a pair of brown leather sandals and launched a rocket towards government tanks that I couldn't even see".

Low-tops are shirts or blouses that show a lot of breast. The top is low.
