Chuck's

32 of 365
















These shiny new Chuck Taylor's belong to Michelle's guy, Jonathan.  

A couple of interesting facts about these funky sneaks include the following:
  • they were first produced in 1917 as the "All-Star" as Converse's attempt to capture the basketball shoe market
  • over 750 million pair have been sold worldwide 
  • the shoe is quite popular in the sport of powerlifting, where the flat soles of the shoe make for a more stable base than normal style of sneakers
