Design your own Chuck Taylors. Or Nick Taylors, or Stan Taylors, or…
One of the things Mrs. Communist and I have in common is our appreciation for cool shoes (ohmygodshoes!). Well, she much more than I, of course… but I am down with the sneakers.
I have a particular weakness for the “old school” styles of Puma, Vans, Adidas and Converse. So imagine my delight when Mrs. C informed me that Converse will let you design and purchase your very own customized Chuck Taylor All Stars.
You can choose from hi-top, lo-top, skidgrip and slip-ons. The kids can even get in on the action with sizes for wee feets. You’re not limited to canvas, either: Leather and suede uppers are available. You’re also not limited to All Stars: One Stars also are available for customizing.
Having two pairs of of All Stars already (charcoal canvas and olive green wool), I futzed with a pair of One Stars:
You can tweak a colors and patterns all the way down to the laces and racing stripe. The shoes don’t even have to be all one color. You also can choose a pair to benefit the (Product) Red program.
I’m in the market for some new sneakers but am undecided on the customized Converse. If you, dear readers, get a pair of these fancy kicks, send me a picture.
