a blog about Converse Chuck Taylor® Shoes
We know you love your Chucks, but hey kids, it’s important to catch up on a history lesson or two. We stumbled upon an interesting book in the Amazon Marketplace, a book by Abraham Aamidor about Chuck Taylor himself. From basketball to the classic sneaker, this book goes through the life of the man himself. We’ll have a book review on this item coming up.

Ever heard of Zappos.com? Zappos.com is a shoe and apparel website that was recently acquired by Amazon. However, their business structure is still operating as a separate entity from Amazon.com. Zappos is all about customer service and for each and every pair of shoes they sell online they have a video describing colors, look and feel, and sometimes a bit of culture about the shoe as well.
What’s different about Zappos is that you can order a pair of shoes, try them on, and send them back if you don’t like them – Zappos will cover all shipping costs. It’s a nice touch to the struggles of online shopping – especially for shoes.

There are many references to the Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star shoe being ‘punk’. The term has many definitions but for Theo’s character in The Cosby Show, we can say it is a negative thing. Messy room, poor grades, not having a care in the world- what do the Chuck’s say about Theo’s character? They say that he’s got style.
