Over the past few years Converse has rapidly widened the selection of colors, patterns, and textiles for the iconic Chuck Taylor shoe (the most successful shoe in history), and now the company is offering an option for consumers to design completely original Chucks, Jack Purcells, or other sport shoes via the Converse website.
We were hooked for about an hour creating multiple shoe possibilities, and with over a dozen individual shoe sections to play around with, there is certainly a combination that’s right for everyone. Prices vary depending on make and fabric (we absolutely love the leather option for low- and high-top Chucks!), and shipping takes approximately 2-4 weeks. But sorry, international readers: for now this feature is only available to ship within the US.
