Converse Chuck Taylor Lows x Green Day x Dookie

Just this passed Saturday, I tripped down to Get Outside and grabbed a pair of sneakers I've been wanting since they popped up on the Internet. Now in my possession are the Converse Chuck Taylor Lows Green Day Dookie collabo. The detail on these shoes are insane and I think I've found another set of kicks for display purposes only. I know I've said to myself I was out of the collecting hobby, but these brought me right back in.

Gracing the side walls of the sneakers are images taken from the band's staple album Dookie realeased in 1994. Growing up in that whole grunge/alternative era, this was the album to listen to. Even to this day, I continue to listen to it. I was stoked to see it listed as one of the greatest albums of all time and I encourage you to hear it out some time soon. Furthermore, if Converse wasn't involved in this at all, I don't think any other brand would be a legitimate choice for this mash-up.

I thought this was a neat feature; the tongue on the right shoes lists the first seven tracks of the CD and the left lists the last seven in that unique handwritten font found throughout the booklet.

Last, but not least, is the iconic logo on the heel that needs no explanation at all. Classic.
