\"drew-brophy-converse-chuck-taylor-designs\"<\/a>We are so excited to announce the new Brophy Converse Chuck Collection!<\/p>\n

Drew’s always telling people to paint their own stuff and customize their lives. \u00a0Converse shoes are a great way to do that.<\/p>\n

And, if you want Drew’s art on your shoe, now you can have it.<\/p>\n

When Drew was a kid, he’d doodle dragons and waves on his Chuck Taylor All Stars. \u00a0His friends wanted him to draw on theirs, too.<\/p>\n

This collaboration started almost 3 years ago when Converse sponsored our video PAINT PEN TECHNIQUES WITH DREW BROPHY<\/a>. \u00a0A section in the video shows how to paint your shoe with water-based paint pens. \u00a0That led to a brainstorming about putting Drew’s art on production shoes. \u00a0Drew came up with a couple dozen designs (see the photo above) and they chose a number to move ahead with.<\/p>\n

The collection is available at Converse retailers nationwide, including Journey’s, select Nordstrom locations and Converse.com.<\/p>\n

Check this out: \u00a0Converse’s super cool blog features many different artists. \u00a0TALK<\/a> interviewed Drew and featured a<\/p>\n

video <\/a>of him painting a Chuck Taylor All Star.<\/p>\n

NORDSTROMS EVENTS FOR KIDS<\/span><\/strong> – Kids can help paint their own Chucks!<\/p>\n

Drew will personally appear at 3 Southern California Nordstrom locations (kids shoe dept) and will sign Converse shoes purchased in-store during the events. \u00a0Kid will be encouraged to join in on the creativity by adding color to their shoes. \u00a0It 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n
