While everyone is becoming more and more domesticated and concerned solely with their individual happiness, whatever that may look like (on Instagram), the world is becoming increasingly interconnected. What do you think? Do you agree?
As always in life, there is no clear-cut answer, but rather a balanced compromise. When it comes to shoes, it is perhaps easier but definitely no less debated. There is a clear black and white here and that is a lifestyle choice:
The Converse brand
The American company was founded almost 100 years ago and originally produced winter-proof shoes with vulcanised rubber soles. But because the demand for sporty sneakers was so high, founder Marques Mills changed tack. In 1917, the brand released the Chuck Taylor All Star, which is now famous all over the world and has significantly fuelled Converse's success story.
Together with the All Star, the Star One became the symbol of a generation.
The non-conformity and fashion statement of the kicks also appealed to subcultures such as the skater, punk or hip-hop scene. Even today, the classics embody a fashion rebellion and in fact their recipe for success is to swim against the tide and stay true to oneself. Hmm, maybe that's exactly it. The healthy mixture of cult and your own touch.

You can easily personalise your favourite styles at Converse, be it the high or low cut, the platforms or kids' models. Once you've chosen your favourite style, it's time to design. You can choose from a variety of materials, colours, prints and special details. In principle, you can decide everything yourself: from the laces and eyelets to the sole and stitching. The order is even free of charge and with the hashtag #ConverseByYou you can share your editions on Instagram, for more variety through your ideas!
You can also personalise the canvas classics in new colours. You can also celebrate the Chinese New Year individually or choose a trendy leather upper.
If you want to move away from the classic shape of the Chuck Taylor All Star, simply create your design with the Lugged High Top.
We're excited to see what your limited edition looks like. Follow us on Instagram and tag us. Maybe your idea will also be featured by Converse, but don't forget to use the hashtag #ConverseByYou.
