Winter-Ready Canvas Shoes

These Converse Boots Keep Sneaker Lovers in All Stars Year-Round

— October 8, 2015 — Fashion
These Converse boots will maintain Chuck Taylors as a sneaker staple through any kind of weather.

Chuck Taylor All Stars are such a beloved element of modern streetwear that they often continue to be worn through completely inappropriate weather, resulting in freezing toes and drenched socks. Finally, the designers of the iconic shoe brand have blessed the world with a Converse boot featuring a winterized ridged sole. The All Star Boot TS Hi is the high-top version of the new year-round shoe, while the low-top edition is called All Star Boot TS OX. Both high-top and low-top silhouettes come in three colorways: classic white and navy as well as brick red.

Although the upper is still made of the classic canvas Converse shoes are known for, the updated Converse boot sole will provide sneaker lovers with a little added protection come fall and winter.
Trend Themes
1. Winterized Sneakers - Designing sneaker boots with a ridged sole provides added protection and functionality for sneaker lovers in colder weather.
2. Year-round Footwear - Creating shoes that can be worn in any season by modifying the original design, such as Converse boots, appeals to consumers who want versatile footwear options.
3. Weather-resistant Materials - Using classic canvas for the upper part of the shoe, while implementing weather-resistant soles, combines style and function for sneaker enthusiasts.
Industry Implications
1. Streetwear - The streetwear industry can innovate by incorporating weather-ready features into popular sneaker brands, expanding their market offer and addressing different consumer needs.
2. Fashion - By introducing winterized versions of beloved sneakers, the fashion industry can tap into the demand for stylish yet practical footwear in all seasons.
3. Footwear - The footwear industry can embrace disruptive innovation by reimagining traditional designs and adding features like ridged soles to create sneakers suitable for all weather conditions.
