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
