The Most Successful Shoe Of All-Time! What’s Up Chuck?

6 09 2007

The Chuck Taylor All-Stars were first produced by Converse in 1917, that is 5 years after the sinking of the Titanic for all you DiCaprio lovers. “I’m the King of the World!” Chuck thought the same thing, when he made the canvas and rubber-soled shoes his preferred shoe of choice by putting his stamp of approval on its ankle patch and in the history books as the most successful shoe of all time.

Think of the demographic that has enjoyed these shoes through the years: The basketball players, the skaters, the punk-rockers, sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies - they all adore them. They think these are righteous shoes.

The perfect shoe for all…no, for fall! They even come in “Harvest Pumpkin.” Go ahead Bettys, I’ll say it with you; “Oh, cute.”

Enjoy the shoes of the day: Converse Men’s, Betty’s and Chillin’s All-Star Ox, I mean Oxen. These Converse are Oxen!

Can you name a pair of shoes that is over 90 years old, that you can still buy new?

How many pairs have you had? Me? Thanks for asking, I have personally owned 5 pairs, including Pink.



What Color is your Sole?

4 09 2007

On my way out the front door this morning - I noticed a very large black spider between the screen and the door.  After completely soaking it with bug spray, it curled up into a little ball and I kicked it over with my foot to see if indeed it had the horrifying red markings of the black widow.  Yes it was red, yes it was black, and there was no husband around.

These soles have some color underneath.   Color underneath must mean Poison, no wait…more traction.

The shoes of the day; Nike Court Force High Tops with colorful soles!
