Chicken Pox Print Kicks

These Converse Polka Dot Sneakers Also Feature Flannel Stripes

— February 22, 2013 — Fashion
The new Converse polka dot print is placed over top of a flannel design on these new shoes.

Converse continues to reinvent the Chuck Taylor shoe, which has been the brand's signature shoe for almost a century. Converse has recently released a plethora of Chuck Taylor variations, which seems to suggest that the brand isn't planning on abandoning this silhouette any time soon.

Converse thinks of the Chuck Taylor as a blank canvas that can hold just about any print that gets thrown at it. In this case, Converse merges polka dot prints that look like chicken pox with a red flannel pattern. The result is a funky, yet earthy look sure to make a statement.

These shoes would go great with a pair of washed out slim fitting jeans and a checkered button up rolled up to the elbows.
