Chuck Gets All Glammed Up! A Missoni and Converse Collaboration

I wrote about Chucks a few months ago. It was an entry on Nicole Kidman wearing classic chucks (click here to read article). Today, I am writing about this half-a-century old pair of rubber shoes once again. But this time, it’s about Chuck’s style make-over. And it isn’t just any make-over, it’s a luxe make-over.

Late last year, Converse collaborated with Missoni for its 2010 Spring Collection. Early this month, the fruits of that team-up materialized into a collection called Missoni for Chuck Taylor Converse All Stars. The collection was just released to the Missoni flagship stores in New York and Beverly Hills this week.

Women, and even men, will easily fall in love with these shoes. I know I have. Looking at it already gives me enough reason to purchase a pair of Chucks.

With its colorful and geometric signature Missoni pattern, these shoes are simpy irresistable to have? It’s rare and one-of-a-kind; and limited too.  

I’m sure these shoes will get snapped up in no time. At US$200 a pair, the price is very accessible; even cheap to those who are used to buying shoes that cost along the high hundreds. I definitely see this collection getting wiped clean, it’s just so perfect for spring!

If you want a pair, just visit the flagship Missoni stores (in New York  or Beverly Hills).

Now if you think US$200 is still a little too much for a pair of Chucks, purchase these patterned and printed Chucks instead:
