2008 was the centennial year for Converse. Brands rise and fall, fads come and go, and surviving a century is defiantly an achievement not to be taken lightly.
August 1st saw the release of this leather jacket inspired Chuck Taylor, celebrating their 100th anniversary. Almost a year on, these kicks are STILL the most elusive trainers I have ever searched for. No one I know has even heard of them, let alone seen them.
On August 1st 09, I will be purchasing fresh Chucks to customize in tribute of the limited .ed leather ones I just couldn’t get my hands on. I plan to take the gold prototypes I made last year even further, ‘nuff said. (all photos but one were lost in a digital fire…)
Check back for pix if you wanna get your fix!
