Converse Well Worn
A couple of days ago
sent me a pair of their new
Chuck Taylors from the "Well Worn"
collection. If a pair of tattered, broken-in sneakers are the sign of a life well lived, these puppies have been having an AMAZING time in the box. They have the perfect amount of wear, with a soft patina on the toe and a soft washed effect on the canvas.
This got me thinking about my first pair of Chucks many moons ago when I was about 15 years old. They were the low top red varietal which my teenage self gleefully took a sharpie to and customized with various sayings and doodles. Sadly no evidence of these masterpieces exist as this is in the dark pre-iphone/digital camera days. But, here is an image of my adult self in my brand new/well worn grey converse, looking very serious ;)
I've also rounded up some of the best Converse street style I've taken over the past 3 years. These folks are truly wearing it well...
