Everybody loves sneakers, and when it comes to this kind of shoe one name comes to mind, Chuck Taylor by Converse. They have been the shoe of the deviant generation, the rockstars and the  artists (like me). Its comfortable feel makes you want to jump and run, and sometimes eccentric. 

Though converse has been available in the contry for quite some time and stores in malls, they just recently launched their first flagship store in the Philippines which is the biggest in area and also with the variety of merchandise available.

In the launch January 18, 2013, it was well attended by the media, the converse management, and celebrities like Bernard Palace, Tessa Prieto-Valdez, Kapamilya stars Ejay Falcon, Khalil Ramos, Zaijan Jaranilla and Xyriel Manabat. The store is located near the link between the Landmark and is along the people traffic in Glorietta.
