It was take your child to work day and my son begged me to RSVP yes to the Converse event so he could get a new pair of sneakers!
Something happens to middle school boys , they become obsessed with sneakers. I thought my son was brand loyal to another company, but when he found out Converse had invited me to attend a Converse event, he demanded that we go! Chuck Taylor was all he could talk about. Did I mention my son is a basketball player?
They had to be high tops, and they had to be white.
If my son is happy, I am happy. Seems like our trip to the Converse event made me a cool dad for at least an hour. I’ll take it! And I am grateful to Converse for picking up a men’s pair for my son, even though the event was for the kids Chuck II:
“Kids will now experience the innovative updates of the Chuck Taylor All Star with the launch of the Chuck II, including a Nike Lunarlon sock liner for superior full foot cushioning, a foam padded collar and non-slip gusseted tongue for 360-degree comfort. Kids need a sneaker that meets the demands of their “on the go” lifestyle – more comfort, more cushioning, more durability, and all while staying light on their feet.”
My son recommends Converse! And, the next day, he planned his outfit around the sneakers. Dear Converse, this is my son starting his modeling career:
Reviewing a product that my son thinks is fantastic, makes this bloggers job easy, and buys me some cool points with my son! Score a three pointer for me!
Disclosure: We attended a Converse event where they provided my son with a pair for himself, and a gift card for me to buy a pair at a later date. My son has already told me what he is buying with my Converse gift card! All opinions are always 100% honest and our own.

Your son is doing a great job modeling these shoes. Good luck to him on his next basketball game.

it is a shame that Converse has not added these comfort improvements to what most kids love to wear, the original converse all star chuck taylor. the way these are so poorly made they are unwearable.
i think spkiking testosterone levels and girls make most boys sneaker freaks, plus their feet are growing..
if he really like converse go to EBAY type in classic or vintage converse and buy him a pair of American made converse. which are extinct, and he will see and feel the difference.
