SOLE COLLECTOR: Sneakers

Words_Jeremy Ripley

Verendipitous! Stocattagram! Oh sorry—pulling my best Bill Walton impression here! While my penchant for inventing words while lecturing twenty-two year old NBA players might not be as noteworthy as Mr. Bill’s, but my level of excitement for Converse’s latest 100^th Anniversary Chuck Taylor release probably matches his. Alright, not really. But the fact remains: stoner-rock icons and freedom riders Grateful Dead have inspired the latest All Star. The shoe is distinguished by a grimacing skeleton wearing a collection of roses as a head ornament on a monotonic white base. The model is available now at Journey’s and a bevy of other large retail outfits.
