It might look as though Converse bought shares in Canvas at this point but what can I tell you – we go where the cool, innovative  interesting, exclusive shoes are and right now that is Converse & CONVERSE FIRST STRING

 

The ’70s-inspired Straight Shooter updates its game for today with innovatively lightweight features, premium materials and crafted detailing. Lunarlon foam, engineered for increased comfort and support, lightens up the Straight Shooter’s cupsole construction, a rubber-wrapped midsole maintains Converse’s telltale vulcanized look, and the outsole pattern takes what began on the All Star-inspired sneaker and modernizes it for today. A remake with understated style, clean lines and a name to match. In the canvas offering of the Straight Shooter, the duck canvas upper features nickel eyelets and a monochrome leather heel stay.
