DIY Light-Up Kicks

Converse Shoe Designs Will Look Even Cooler with Light Installations

Wanting to stand out is a mentality that will never go away, and since Chuck Taylor’s footwear has become the symbol for youth of any generation, these light-integrated Converse shoe designs will surely satisfy those seeking ways to communicate individualism.

Teenagers and young adults can now outfit their shoes with a glowing logo from Adafruit Industries. The glow-in-the-dark logo turns your regular Converse Chucks into rave-ready dancing shoes. The instructional DIY glow shoes can be integrated in any other shoe, so people should feel free to outfit their other shoes as well.

The simple concept will help make any one of your shoes stand out. This is the perfect way to differentiate your shoes from every other pair of Chuck Taylor Converse.
