Converse All Star Fall Collection 2014

 

Looking to add to your Converse collection? The new Fall Converse Chuck Taylor All Star collection include the Back Zip and Tri Zip, which incorporate zipper detailing to create a stylish look. Distressed washes and contemporary graphic prints also get highlighted this season to create a modern collection fashioned through a vintage inspired lens.

The Fall collection is available now at retailers nationwide. Which styles will you be picking up? I am loving the zipper detailing.

Back Zip:

Providing a new twist to a classic silhouette, the Back Zip is available in a vintage wash twill with an embroidered Converse All Star patch. 

Tri Zip:

A brand new style for fall, features zipper detailing with pops of colour and materials. It's available in a sparkle washed canvas and premium suede.

The material featured has a hand-crafted look and feel with details such as round leather laces and tanned leather toecaps.

'70: 

Returns with update prints including zebra, giraffe and cheetah animal prints. Additionally, the zebra print features UV sensitive technology, turning the white of the shoe royal blue and laces yellow when exposed to the light.

If the All Star Collection is not your cup of tea, check out the Converse Jack Purcell Sneaker collection. They share a seasonless quality and clean design heritage. Inspired by different elements of summer accessories, such as cool tortoise shell sunglasses and elegant pocket squares. The collection is a new classic which seamlessly merges with the focused and cool personal style of discerning creative curators.

A little background info about John Edward "Jack" Purcell, which I recently learned. Being a long time badminton player myself, I had no idea that he was a Canadian world champion badminton player?! lol Oh well, you learn something new everyday, right?

Aside from being a badminton player, he pursed a career as a stockbroker, and also designed an athletic shoe that bears his name. He designed a canvas and rubber badminton sneaker to provide more protection and support on badminton courts. In the 1970s, Converse purchased the trademark rights to Jack Purcell sneakers. The shoe, which is similar in appearance to Converse's Chuck Taylor All-Stars, can be distinguished by the signature "smile" across the toe.
