Without further or do we start with Jan. Having been with us a while now Jan is in charge of all...

The Autumn/Winter Collection from Converse this year offers the Chuck Taylor a bright palette to combat the darker winter days. The collection sees the Chuck Taylor 70 in suede uppers giving the shoe a very retro feel while maintaining the simple aesthetic of the Converse classic. Orange, red and blue suedes give a splash of colour suitable for all wardrobes and outfits.
