There’s no better way to bleed American on your feet than to rock a pair of Chuck Taylors. The classic lace-ups are a bonafide staple in fashion of all types, as it builds a firm rapport with anything from the rugged borderline-bummish street-wear to the high-end ensemble. It’s patriotism in sneaker form, and that’s the theme behind the all-new Converse Specialty Retail Store in the SoHo shopping district of Lower Manhattan, set for an official opening on Black Friday. With a wall of Chucks making up the red, white, and blue and a vintage photograph of the All-American himself James Dean in a fitting black-and-white portraiture hanging above the ‘vintage’ footwear section, the new Converse shop makes yet another compelling argument for being the ultimate American sneaker while maintaining its international ambassadorship. The store’s got everything, from the $40 classic chucks to the higher-end Purcell line, as well as a customization mini-factory of sorts that’ll have your personalized kicks ready in just minutes. Be sure to stop in this Black Friday, November 26th, and check out the detailed gallery of the new store as well as a collection of in-store exclusives after the jump.
