launched a collection of shoes and apparel to tell the stories from the past
century.

Celebrate the Converse Century
We’ve crashed more than a few parties. Now we’re throwing our
own. But after 100 years, we’ve turned it up and designed a line of
Chucks that will live long after the rager’s over.
Eat at Chuck's Diner.
Back in the day, every greasy spoon had 50-cent hamburgers and a
waitress asking, “How’d you like that, sugar?” The Chuck
Taylor® All Star® Diner is an ode to krinkle cut fries and a simpler
time.
Pure Punk
It happened somewhere between a dusty garage and a dirty nightclub.
Three chords morphed into liberty spikes, studded collars, and the fast and
hard rock’n’roll that PUNK is today.
For
a Good Time: Wear Chucks.
We’ve learned a lot from sitting on the pot, from sonnets scribbled
in magic marker to phone numbers we can’t repeat. The Chuck Taylor®
All Star® Bathroom Wall is an ode to all those memorable musings that
catch us with our pants down.
This Ain't No Yacht Club
He was a salty dog who liked to paint bulging biceps with brazen tales at
sea. Decades later, old school tattoo artist “Sailor Jerry” has
landed on canvas with a special edition hi-top that’s ready for shore
leave.
A Revolution On Canvas
There was a whole lot of stuff going down. But no one stood around. They rocked
picket lines and party lines, and started a revolution. The Chuck Taylor®
All Star® Psychedelic is a giant nod to the 60’s way of gettin’
it done.
Kicking Around Another Century
For 100 years, we’ve rocked billboards and backboards, used
buildings and sidewalks as canvas and kicked over more than a few amps. Here’s
to strumming and sweating our way through another century of mavericks.
