Many decades after the Chuck Taylor and Jack Purcell served as peak performance machines on the basketball and tennis courts, respectively, Converse’s classic silhouettes are the kind of kicks sneakerheads seek out for casual purposes. Both have been issued in myriad variations and themes and with winter coming sooner than you think, it’s time for some rugged releases to protect against the cold weather. So just as you probably wouldn’t play any serious competitive basketball in theConverse Chuck Taylor All Star, these curly-haired dogs that make up the ‘Hunting Club’ are probably best reserved for playing one of Cabela’s Xbox games rather than in your tree stand. On the other hand, the All Star Hi ML-Shin Guard does indeed look the part of a winterized military monster, the tank-treaded sole and double-reinforced ankle much more the type of thing you need to survive in the wilderness.
