Converse is always known for it’s consistency in surprising us with their new and exciting designs. In this brilliant release, they brought us an exclusive for women design where the classic canvas is substituted by a cozy wool knit material giving it the cool winter feel.

Similar to a traditional canvas, it also utilizes the same metal eyelets and white rubber toe caps. Consisting of three different knitted styles and colors. Also it’s a tough choice among the clean white and navy blue high tops and brown low top. It’d be such a shame not to get our hands on one of these!

Well, meet Joshua Mueller of Lakewood, Washington (USA). The guy holds the largest collection of Chuck Taylor shoes in the world with 680 unique pairs, as of March 3, 2007, making it to Guinness Book of World Records.

Mueller, a professional Artist, started his collection of Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star shoes in 1991 by getting a pair of Pine Green Low-Tops and continued acquiring more each year. A few months ago, Josh stated in his Flickr account (where he posts photos of his collection) that it’s 70 pairs away from 1,000. Wooow. He also stated that he never wear the same pair twice. Well looks like two pairs a day won’t make him wear ALL pairs within a year!

Josh Mueller was also featured in 2007 Ripley’s Belive It or Not! as one of the contestants with the most unbelievable story.

Okay, so let’s go over how the Chucks culture really started. The shoes first came out in 1917 and was originally named Converse All-Stars. It was produced by Converse shoe company in an attempt to dominate the basketball shoes market. It didn’t gain popularity until basketball player Chuck Taylor preferred the shoes as his own basketball shoes. He was known himself to prefer the dirty-look white high-tops. The shoes became his signature shoes since then and by popularity, was renamed Chuck Taylor All-Stars, after his name, as Chuck became the leading salesman.

The fashion trend of Chuck Taylor shoes started in the late 1970’s by Punk Rock fans. Many Punk Rock bands wore the shoes to support this trend. Chuck Taylor shoes became even more popular in the 1990’s when fans of the world-famous rock band Nirvana imitated the band’s lead singer Kurt Cobain who had worn Chuck Taylor shoes all the time. Kurt Cobain had worn Chucks for years before 90’s which influence he got from many rock bands he became fond of at his early age.

Chuck Taylor All-Star shoes enthusiasts nowadays are growing in numbers due to the “old school” trends coming out in Popular Culture. Many celebrities adopted the shoe’s trend by matching it with their own fashion style.

Aside from the shoe’s comfortable design, the nicest thing about Chucks nowadays perhaps is that you can wear it with almost anything you desire without losing STYLE. Chucks own STYLE, that is.
