Chuck and Pharrell

Here is Skateboard P talking about his love for the All-Stars. While this wasn't nearly as entertaining as his previous interviews- My favorite Pharrell quote: "(The White Stripes' music) is like porn, with smurfs."- it got me thinking. Are the classic Converses the best pair of shoes in the world? While most people will make arguments for Jordan IIIs or maybe some Adidas Superstars, Chuck Taylors have been doing it longer. How much longer? The first Chuck Taylors were made in 1917. Think about that. My great-grandparents were in their teens when they came out. Harry Caray was born March 1, 1917. On top of its longevity, no other shoe has been able to match its simplicity and style. I don't think any shoe looks better in jeans than my Chucks. I've spent hundreds on Jordans, but I wear my $4o All-Stars more. There's some food for thought.
