CONVERSE: Re-Inventing Style

I love reinventing things. I used to paint my Air Jordan's to refresh their look and rock them like they were new. In the late 80's we reinvented everything (it was all hand me downs anyway) and in the 90's we airbrushed jeans. At some point in everyone's life, there will be a reason to reinvent some aspect of your life or who you are. Whether jeans or your car, reinvention is human evolution. How successful you are at it , will be a determining factor in your future life. It's not as ominous as it sounds, but listen. Things change, the world changes, and despite certain nuances, your life will change,so embrace change and understand that all good things must come to an end, but also that through change great ones emerge. With this in mind, my favorite reinvention is Converse. From the iconic Chuck Taylor's being what was left of Converse to the re-emergence, re-energized and reborn, Converse has not only reinvented themselves, they reincarnated a culture of casual grunge classic cool style. From their Converse One Star at Target Stores, to classic Converse to runway Converse by John Varvatos, this is how you make an re-entrance. This is a better comeback than Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man and Tropic Thunder. This is a win win for men, classic vintage style and in fashion. So throw on a some Converse, enjoy the journey and look great doing it.
