Converse, the legendary American shoe company, is giving away free canvas for high-top All Star sneakers in line of the Advent Season. For every minimum purchase of Php 2500 of any converse product, one gets to collect a pair of canvas for your poor old Chucks. As for me, I had the chance of jazzing up my black high-cut.
It was just an ordinary Sunday when my mom asked me to go with her at Marquee Mall in Angeles City. Her several hours of tireless searching, fitting, and inquiring for a chic cocktail dress tested my stamina of being her aide – yes, my mom is shopaholic, and I’ve gained tolerance to that. Only after almost four hours did I realize that I didn’t want her to search in vain for her outfit. So, I asked her if she could buy me a new pair of Chucks instead. Luckily, she was convinced.
New Jack Purcell
Mom bought me a pair of grapeleaf Jack Purcell Garment Race around Ox. I was really in high spirit as it was my time to meet Mr. Purcell, also known as badminton great. Converse should be really proud of their acquisition of his great ideas. As for my new sneakers, I like their smooth velvet skin and pointed end. And when I wore them, it felt like I was fifteen! I didn’t know why, but I got the bliss of ramping in school saying, “Hey ladies! Can we go out for dinner?”
For me, Chucks aren’t just worn for the sake of padding my soles. I wear them to feel good about myself because I love feeling trendy and comfortable at the same time. From an ordinary school day to a prestigious event, Converse shoes are flexible enough to fit right into style. In fact, they’re too perfect for me!
My poor old high-cut, after almost a year, you will be replaced. But don’t worry because you won’t be in disdain. In fact, I’m now coating you with a new (yeah free) jacket. You will still be worn on certain days.
Canvas waiting to be worn
The price of the new Purcell will almost double that of the minimum purchase of getting a free canvas. I chose a beige one with red backstitches around it so as to contrast my old black All Star. I enjoyed feeding a lace through the eyelets and experimented on folding the canvas until I satisfied myself. Now, my sneakers look new!
"Look I'm new!"
Coating them was sure a fun activity. Thanks to Jack Purcell! Yet, my next wish in the subsequent months is to personalize my own Converse shoes online.

Hey Mr. Cheesy
You can buy a pair of those at any Converse branch in Metro Manila. e.g. Trinoma.
I believe there’s also a branch in SM Manila.
