| Chuck Taylor All Star Canvas High Top Purple Passion 1t162 by A classic | In one word: Awesome. In three: Awesome and classic.
My only complaint is that they get your feet a bit damp in adverse weather, but that's what boots are for. They do have vent holes for quick drying, though, just like military jungle boots. In the dry, they're the perfect shoe. | | Chuck Taylor All Star Canvas High Top Purple Passion 1t162 by awww, no maroon? | | I FINALLY find maroon high-top Chucks and they're out of stock in my size? :-( | | Chuck Taylor All Star Canvas High Top Purple Passion 1t162 by Purple Mountain Chucks not as they appear | | IMPORTANT! The Purple Mountain Chucks are actually a darkish concord grape purple, with a lot of gray. Nothing like the light purple shown in the picture! | | Chuck Taylor All Star Canvas High Top Purple Passion 1t162 by gotta have my golden yellow | I hate that this traditional piece of American icon is now made in China. I hate that I'm helping some slaveshop abuse some poor chinese kid, but my dog chewed one of my golden yellow Chucks and I need a replacement. Life is not the same without my chuckies... and my feet feel weird when I'm wearing anything else.
Now that Im breaking all my political stands, might as well buy the purple's and the other shade of green. What can I say, its the chucky addiction. | | Chuck Taylor All Star Canvas High Top Purple Passion 1t162 by Five Star All Stars | Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars are not just a fashion statement. Back in the day, they were my choice of athletic footwear -- following in my father's footsteps -- while starting center on the high school basketball team. For a 6'2" white guy with a moderate vertical leaping ability, I didn't have to worry about losing any spring in my step, and I always led stats in rebounds and blocked shots against players wearing the then-ubiquitous Adidas, Puma and Converse "Dr. J" hi-tops. In all fairness, and as a disclaimer, 80% of the opposing team members were white guys, too.
Still, though I have absolutely no vertical leap left (hey. I graduated 24 years ago), I still wear these shoes, just because. Like one reviewer pointed out, they're a great conversation starter. Plus, they're as comfy as a second pair of feet.
At the turn of the 20th to the 21st century, it appeared that there'd be NO Chucks left at all: The Massachusetts factory was closing down, and Chucks appeared to be going the way of acid-wash jeans. Fortunately (or, unfortunately, if you're a member of the garment workers' union), Converse went through some reorganization and now makes these overseas, presumably in China.
Well, I'm boycotting the People's Republic of China, an anti-labor country that has helped more American CEOs bust unions than just about anyone else. Its own people are slave labor. Fortunately, I thought ahead, so when Converse was on the ropes, I went out to every shoe store around and bought up all the size 12 hi tops I could find. To be exact, 143 pairs -- a closet full. I've got 'em in white, optical white, green, red, basic black, navy blue, yellow, orange, you name it. Set me back $2700, but was worth every penny, knowing that American workers made them.
I AM THE IMELDA MARCOS OF CONVERSE CHUCK TAYLOR ALL-STAR SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But, if you're a newcomer to them, or missed the boat, I won't hate ya for buying these for yourselves. They are so cool, I'll look the other way.
I have to look the other way myself: I buy the toddler sizes for my two wittle one. Aw!!!! :) At least I help keep American shoe store employees employed, if not factory workers. | | Chuck Taylor All Star Canvas High Top Purple Passion 1t162 by Product Description | | Colors, colors everywhere! These fresh new colors saturate the canvas with the hues of spring, and the classic white laces, midsole and toe cap provide the perfect contrast. Just putting them on will make any day feel sunny. |
