Chinese fashion has been influencing several designs in fashion starting from hair dresses up to the simplest accessories. And before 2009 ends, Converse has a Chinese-inspired collection which incorporates the designs and colors of the upcoming 2010 which is said to be the Year of the Tiger according to the Chinese calendar.
Since this is a Chinese Converse shoe, expect that the dominant color is red – a lucky color for the Chinese. Aside from the tiger patterns and black/red streaks on the shoes there are also Chinese characters and Chinese calligraphy as well.
There are four colors that part of the Converse Year of the Tiger collection. Fans of the Chuck Taylor will think of this as a must-have especially if they can pull of the color red.
No news yet about the specific date or release of the Converse Year of the Tiger collection. But I hope that these shoes will be out in the market just in time for the 2010 Chinese New Year.
Hey man. There are some things I would like to say to you.
1. I think your blog is truly awesome. I’ve subscribed to your RSS-feed, and everytime you update your blog – I read the latest post… no matter where I am. It could be on my mobile or on my computer. It doesn’t matter. Your blog simply owns and I love the shoes you give us tips about!
2. The converse shoes you’re talking about in this post… do you have any idea of where to get shoes like that? I think they look very good, and I’m interested in buying a pair. I’ve been looking all over the net, but I can’t seem to find ‘em. How about posting a link to the store where you could actually buy a pair of those next time? Would be much easier for people like me.
Anyway, don’t let me waste your time… thanks for a great blog and keep up the good work!
