Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Well Worn Collection

CTAS_Well_Worn_LifeStyle_17724

Anyone who knows me know that I love Converse Chuck Taylors! At some in my life, I used to collect them in every color, print, and style that I could. Now a days, my pockets and other financial responsibilities have caused me tone it down. However, that doesn’t stop me from buying a new pair of ice white Chuck Taylors every spring. Honestly. They are just the uber spring and sneaker to me!

Every year, when I buy a new pair, I practically rock them every day. I don’t do that just because they are cute and comfy, but to help them get to that well worn look that takes them from cute to chic. Chucks are the only shoes I know that can chicer when they are that dingy grey white and have that well-worn look and Converse knows it, too.

Therefore, this spring, Converse presents their Chuck Taylor All Star Well Worn Collection featuring a premium washed canvas that has been extensively treated to produce the perfect broken-in look. The distressed effect contributes comfort, history and character, delivering an easygoing summer feel. When it comes to a pair of Chuck Taylor All Stars, the wear-and-tear is a beautiful celebration of experiences that have left their mark. Check out the collection after the jump.
