Well, I say "fashion"... but I tend not to follow it. I had never really got into the Converse trainer thing that others did. My fiancee, Phee, my mate at football, Marc, are both often wearing a pair. I even own a pair - a limited edition "Jamaica" pair of Star Players.
But then I came across... the All-Star Designer. Yes, you can make your own! So I did... lots! So here are my creations thus far.
The Yellows Collection
I decided to create a range of Chawton Athletic FC trainers, because I am a sad, sad man. First off, I made some "home" coloured Chuck Taylor All-Stars:

And then the "away" coloured version:
Chawton Away Chuck Taylor All-Star Shoe |
For those wanting a more upmarket Chawton trainer, we have the sexy leather version of the home shoe:

And if you don't like cold ankles, you can get these in a boot! I know, I too good to you:

The Wulfy Collection
The shoes I want that aren't anything to do with my football club. That's not to say they are normal colours though; it's fun to be different. First up, we have what the Wulfy about town would wear during the day. Inspired by my taste in music, which is mostly rock and progressive metal, the Rocks Boot:

But when the sun goes down, it's time to party... in GLOW IN THE DARK shoes! The colours for these were pretty limited, so they are probably quite similar to every other glowing All-Stars:
Wulfy Nights Chuck Taylor All-Star Shoe |
Just because I can, I had a good at the multi-tongue shoe. With that many tongues, the colour schemes are endless! Should have done a rainbow:

The Gofer Collection
And finally - one for my evil twin, Gofer. He's getting married soon... and his colours are purple and silver. Converse don't do silver, so phantom grey will have to be close enough on his shoes:
Gofer Wedding Shoe (his or hers!) |
Custom made shoes to go with the two pairs of custom made football boots I play in and the custom made flights on the darts I throw. Maybe I should move on to tie design next for my office wear.
Individuality is fun - have a go yourself!
