Having wet feet sucks. So much so that that we literally link the maxim to ‘have cold feet’ with ducking out on your loved ones. Wet feet can stop you dead in your tracks. They can dampen spirits, and even makes this thing called trench foot possible. The design geniuses over at Converse are obviously aware of this, and they’ve dedicated their considerable resources to solving this age old problem.At this point everyone who has owned a pair of Chucks will probably be noting that, even with an infallible water-repellent – zapatillas converse botas. There are two eyelet-shaped ventilation slots near the arch that tend to squelch out bubbles when they brave adverse conditions. Pragmatically the Shield Canvas collection does away with these holes, creating a unique design feature in the process that lends the design a sleek minimalist look.

Converse’s solution to airborne water attacks is the inclusion of a gusseted tongue that folds and connect to the side of the shoe. This fold has a sharp crease down the middle which, when treated with DWR, ushers water down the crease and out the front of the shoe. On a zapatillas converse chuck taylor all star this equates to a sneaker that has all the abilities of a gumboot but looks bucket loads better. Despite the team’s persistent efforts, my feet stayed totally dry.The word ‘iconic’ gets thrown around a lot, but there’s perhaps no shoe more deserving of the title than the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star. Transcending its athletic roots, the Chuck Taylor has become a staple of popular culture – representative of individual spirit and a sense of quiet accomplishment. Characters who wear Chucks in film and television are often the valiant underdogs – reliable and trustworthy – just like the shoes themselves. Join us as we recount some of our favourite on-screen cameos from the humble canvas All Star.

The Shield Canvas also makes playing in the rain a comfortable affair – as converse all star baratas españa has the enhanced comfort of the Lunarlon sock liner, as well as a perforated micro-suede lining. To keep you visible in low-lit streets, reflective heel webbing and barrel laces have also been incorporated on the All Star and All Star II. And the conclusion of our experiment? Well, as much as my superiors tried to douse me (and seemed to enjoy the process), I walked away with dry socks and a spring in my step. Whether you’re at the mercy of intensive testing, need a shoe to withstand temperamental festival conditions, or just want your feet to stay dry in inclement weather – I can personally attest to the fact that Converse’s new Shield Canvas Collection will have you covered.

Embellished with 24kt stripes, gold thread embroidery and enough calligraphy to startle a steamed pork bun, the Chinese New Year pack is available from the start of the year.
