A photographic exploration of the All Star Converse shoes, also knowns as “Chucks”.
The shoes are so iconic that people develop relationships with their Chucks, wearing them until sole is hanging on, literally by a thread. The story is told using the shoes as a play on the brand name Converse and the verb to converse. Lighting, cropping, and staging are used to enhance the emotion and message of each page to create a coherent sequence.
The book is bound using the very same grommets that can be found on every All Star Converse shoe, and wrapped with black canvas to reference the classic black and white shoe that started it all.
