Get a Kick Out of This: Converse Changed Up its Iconic Chuck Taylor Sneakers for the First Time in 98 Years!

Converse just announced its first ever redesign of the century-old (and very beloved!) Chuck Taylors! Ladies and gents, feast your eyes on "The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II," which hits stores next week!
