Will Sheans Ever Catch On?

Filed under: Accessories, Daily Obsession

Sebastian Errazuriz's jeans/pantsAs you may have noticed, we're total suckers for playful, creative designs, and we're pretty sure that Sebastian Errazuriz's crazy Chuck Taylor pants with soles qualify. This may not be the first time someone's come up with the idea of designing pants that connect with your shoes -- but these are the ones we hope that Converse picks up on for their next collaboration with Target. Plus, we just like the fact that they fit with Errazuriz's entire collection of super-clever fashions.

Will good music put shoes on your feet?

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Men, Celebrities with Style

ConverseIn a desperate attempt to get more Chuck Taylors on the feet of hipsters everywhere (not that they need that much help), Converse has turned to the world of music for guidance. Using the talents of Julian Casablancas of The Strokes, Pharrell Williams of NERD and The Neptunes, and Santogold, the company hopes to form a music collaboration so awesome that the sneakers will go flying off the shelves. But, you know, in a cool way.

They have also filmed a video, in which the sneakers will be featured prominently. Let's see if they can pull this off as a music video with sneakers and not a commercial with new music.

As someone who has already bought into the scruffy Chuck Taylor lifestyle, we don't need any additional convincing. However, as cool as this collaboration sounds, we can't help but wonder just how effective it will actually be. There must be some tween-y skateboarders who will go nuts for it.

Design your own Converse Chuck Taylors

Filed under: Stores We Love, Accessories, Clothing, Shoes

Converse Chuck Taylors seem to be the footwear fashion trend that just won't die. For years they've been must-have's for slackers, rockers, indie kids and anyone else who wants an easy way to look cool in casual shoes. While it's great to have such an easy style score in your arsenal, the problem is that everyone has a pair, so it's hard to make yours stick out.

So why not get some custom-made? The shoe-maker has streamlined the process, walking you though a barrage of options -- including shoe type, shoe material, color scheme (you can choose separate colors for the inside, outside, heel, tongue, stitches and more), and the option to personalize your shoe with a written message.

The process takes anywhere from 5 minutes (if you know what you want) to 5 hours (if you like to play with color). When you're done, you'll have a completely unique pair of Chucks, and all for less than $80. If you're in the market for a pair, the question is, why wouldn't you do this?
