Classic Dungaree Kicks

These Denim Distressed Chuck Taylor Speciality Shoes are Vintage-Cool

— June 6, 2011 — Fashion
Converse has a long-established foothold in the vintage-cool shoe department, and its new Denim Distressed Chuck Taylor shoes seek to further enhance its reputation as the brand of the classic and chic.

The Denim Distressed Chuck Taylors pick up on a trend that has been a part of modern fashion for the last 10 years. While some people need years of consistent use to give their Chucks that eroded, vintage feel, the Denim Distressed Chuck Taylor's gives you that authentic look without the time-consuming and arduous process of wearing down your kicks.

The Denim Distressed Chuck Taylors look like any other pair of Chucks -- they come in low-top and hi-top versions, and appear to stylistically match just about any pair of pants.

These specialty Chucks are available for purchase now.
