Now that is what I call magic!

What other movies have you seen Converse in? Off the top of my head, Chuck in “Chuck”, Ellen Degeneres wears them on her show and some of the characters in “Heroes” sport them as well.

Lemme know where else you remember seeing them…

Who in the world doesn’t know this well known footwear called converse. The shoes are very much comfortable and stylish and so does the interior design. It is considered the main national exhibition of footwear, including fashion, accessories, equipment and components. It is a great example of trends and products. This global icon brand rock the interior design with a daring spirit of transgression. In area of 204 meters floor creating an impression and impact creating memories of silhouette and it’s just significant and magnificent. The exterior is presented as neutral, pure glass box lined with an advertising campaign for the brand.

The interior explores the spatiality and scale differently. It exploits urbanism concept and retro as well as modernism. It’s a successful combination of three coolest theme. A backlit red plane dividing two areas: the first one is the VIP area. Here you will witness completely red, which bet on the extreme setting, where it develops the reception, lounge access and VIP activities. Secondly the sales area, space stressed, you will be presented with opening space into the product display wall where you will find a wall covered with converse shoes.  The roof has been polished in such ways to give more elements of toward the new campaign. It is an area of stimuli.

Blondie Inspired Chuck Taylors ( unisex neon)

Blondie

New York’s new wave punk scene in the 70s and 80s remains the stuff of legends. As disco faded and pompous rock pervaded, Blondie stood-out and electrified the scene and helped to define American new wave and punk rock. Blondie’s succinct pop songs took music to the next level by mixing it with rock, hip hop and reggae to create a fresh new sound. Led by Debbie Harry, the platinum blonde punk-rock pin-up carved paths for every female pop star since, combining smart, sexy attitude with style and glamour. Her backing band often wore Chuck Taylor All Star shoes and the era and new wave style wouldn’t be the same without the iconic shoe. The Blondie for Converse collection includes Chuck Taylor All Star shoes that honor the band and those who define their own style, with a modern mix of cool animal prints, Blondie album cover graphics, logos and color blocking.

Highlights of the collection include a Chuck Taylor All Star Light shoe in a zebra print designed specifically for women who rock. Vibrant unisex Chuck Taylor All Star shoes feature simple, clean designs and neon touches that make these shoes pop. Cool attitude mixes with modern style in a leather oxford in metallic gold version with black leopard spots.

Chuck Taylor All Star shoe has always been a staple of the garage and the punk rock club. Now Chucks and the genre officially combine to create a collection with design and graphic cues as disruptive, meaningful and original as the music itself.  

 The Clash

Joe Strummer once proclaimed “the future is unwritten” and The Clash’s groundbreaking mix of rock, reggae, soul and funk went on to define and re-write it. Part of the original wave of British punk rock, The Clash’s stripped-down and eclectic garage sound stood in defiance to the highly-produced, stadium rock sounds that dominated the 70s. Synonymous with punk rock and those who change the rules, Chuck Taylor All Star shoes serve as the medium for striking designs each with subtle detail and graphics.

Leading the collection is a special tribute version of the Chuck Taylor All Star shoe in white, which marks the 30^th anniversary of the album London Calling.
