No matter who you are, or what your style is, Chucks
are a necessary addition to every closet.

Thank you for your time!
When shipping Converse shoes they are housed in many
boxes. First they are placed in the shoe box, which is
what appears on the shelf. Then several of the
primary boxes are placed in a larger box, to make
shipping easier. These larger boxes are placed on
a skid wrapped in plastic wrap, for ease of shipping.
When purchasing your Chucks, they come in a standard
shoe box. They have the Converse logo on the outside
with metal ringlets in the side- the only relation of the
packaging that matches the product design itself.

However, baby shoes come in a stylized shoe box in
the shape of a triangle- a corner of the Converse star.
The box is laced up, to imitate the shoe.
1917 was the year the first pair of Chucks were made.
However they have lasted over 90 years because people
love the retro style. With the creations of Myspace, and
Facebook, Chucks popularity has increased with cute,
romantic pictures involving a pair of Converses.
Converses come in different, styles, sizes, and colors
however no matter what all Chucks have very similar
qualities. The rubber toe, canvas body, and metal
ringlets are iconic features of the Chucks.
Although the target audience of Converse used to be
basketball players, today it's changed to artists,
musicians, trend setters, and pop culture icons.

One attribute Converse has capitalized on, is the expression
of personal style. From Kristen Stewart wearing Chucks
with a dress, to using them to make an art statement,
Chucks form to everyone, and every situation.

One of the best ways to get to know someone, is to
study their shoes.
With such range in style and customization, no two pairs
of Chucks are alike. Everyone has their own original pair
of Converses.

Chucks come in almost any color, design, or shape.
The range of choices consumers have makes the product
more versatile and able to suit many different kinds of
personalities. On top of that, the materials used with
Chucks, make it very easy to personally customize with
drawings.
Although Converse Chucks started as an athlete's shoe,
it has evolved into more of an artist's footwear.
