Converse Renaissance




Chucks making a comeback from the alternative stigma they seem to have had for a while, to a more skate urban style that they originated from as a basketball shoe in 1917, but still retaining its rock edge. The All-Star shoes were popular in the late sixties, late eighties and now, reflecting a double decade trend reminiscent of leg warmers, peep-toe shoes and high-waisted jeans. They are now utilizing crazy fluoro colours with funk-tastic designs I see every time I window shop past General Pants. Love it.
