We are so excited to announce the new Brophy Converse Chuck Collection!
Links to buy the Brophy Chucks: They are only sold through summer or while supplies last, so don’t wait:
Girls Pink - Girl’s Peace Sign high-top – Boy’s Blue
For Ladies: White Chucks with super awesome design (these are my favorite)
Drew’s always telling people to paint their own stuff and customize their lives. Converse shoes are a great way to do that. And of course, if you want Drew’s art on your shoe, now you can have it.
When Drew was a kid, he’d doodle dragons and waves on his Chuck Taylor All Stars. His friends wanted him to draw on theirs, too.
This collaboration started almost 3 years ago when Converse sponsored our video PAINT PEN TECHNIQUES WITH DREW BROPHY. A section in the video shows how to paint your shoe with water-based paint pens. That led to a brainstorming about putting Drew’s art on production shoes. Drew came up with a couple dozen designs (see the photo above) and they chose a number to move ahead with.
The collection is available at Converse retailers nationwide, including Journey’s, select Nordstrom locations and Converse.com.
Check this out: Converse’s super cool blog features many different artists. TALK interviewed Drew and featured a
video of him painting a Chuck Taylor All Star.
NORDSTROMS EVENTS FOR KIDS – Kids can help paint their own Chucks!
Drew will personally appear at 3 Southern California Nordstrom locations (kids shoe dept) and will sign and/or customize Converse shoes purchased in-store during the events. Kid will be encouraged to join in on the creativity by adding color to their shoes. It will be fun – Converse has lined up many activities for kids and there will be giveaways of Drew Swag like skateboards, art prints and books.
