Punk Your Chucks from Converse Event Coverage

Sharing some of the photos that I took during Saturday's "PUNK YOUR CHUCKS" event which happened at Converse's flagship store over at Glorietta!


Oh and they have special guests Kajo Baldisimo of Trese and Bow Guerrero and JB Tapia of The Dark Colony Book I : Mikey Recio and the Secret of the Demon Dungeon.

Art station, this was where customers who want to punk their chuck taylors got to do so. Converse provided various art implements to customize Chucks.

I totally love the theme and the message that Converse is conveying. #Sneakers

Team Recio is also working really hard with their Chucks.
For Bow Guerrero, creator and artist of Dark Colony, the bond between Pinoy Komiks and Converse is an intuitive one. "Pinoys love art, and express this love in truly imaginative ways," he explained. "The timeless laid-back style of the Converse All-Star really appeals to komiks lovers - not to mention that it is customizable in so many different ways."

The tie-up was made under the "Shoes Buy Art, Sneakers Create It" campaign of Converse, that showcases how sneakers can be a natural medium to create wearable art.

"Converse has always recognized the inherent creativity of our core market," said Eli Bonsol, Converse Advertising and Marketing Manager. "Our most iconic sneaker, the Chuck Taylor All-Star, has always embodied this aspect of the brand - the fact that it is literally made of canvas makes it the perfect backdrop to express your own style."

Oh and if you're excited to 'punk your chucks' don't worry because it's the end of the road as other Converse stores across the country will soon have their own "Punk Your Chucks" areas. This of course is regardless whether you've bough Chuck Taylors, Jack Purcells or Cons. As long as it's Converse, you can definitely "Punk Your Chucks".
