The Converse Counter Climate Boots Collection launch in Montreal on September 28th,2016 was a really cool event that went very well indeed, as you can see from the pictures we took at Marché Bonsecours that day. It's great to see that Converse has found a niche product for our ugly Montreal winters that is practical yet still super stylish! No one else has ever thought of this no-brainer concept! And by the way, we tried them out in the slush and our feet were totally dry afterwards.
With a vast selection of colors to choose from, we might have to get a few pairs ourselves! Great job, Converse. These new waterproof All Stars #ChuckII styles are a Hat Trick! For more information and where to buy them, please read the press release below. - LR
BOSTON, MASS. (September 28, 2016) – Converse is tackling the elements of weather head-on this season, combining classic sneaker designs with premium weatherized features, with the debut of the Fall/Holiday 2016 Converse Counter Climate Boots Collection. The new collection provides the necessary tools to combat the climate shifts while emphasizing essential weather-beating benefits. The innovative sneaker boot collections feature a bold mix of colors and materials including water repellent canvas, rubber, leather and waterproof neoprene. This collection is intended to stand up against unpredictable inclement weather.
Function and style go hand-in-hand with this season’s Counter Climate Boots, sneaker boots that have been reimagined to provide superior protection with waterproof and water repellent features such as insulated booties.
The new Fall/Holiday 2016 Converse Counter Climate Boots Collection will launch beginning Thursday, September 29, 2016, at Converse retail stores, third party retailers and on Converse.com.
Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II Boot
Bridging fashion with winter footwear, Converse introduces the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II Boot featuring a premium, mesh-backed waterproof leather. This is our first waterproof sneaker boot crafted to help keep feet warm and dry in harsh winter conditions while maintaining the classic Chuck Taylor look and feel. A waterproof bootie construction with a neoprene collar and heel pull are included to help keep water completely out of the boot while a 360-degree heat barrier helps keep feet warm. The boot also features a rugged, post-applied weatherized gum outsole with deep grooves for better traction and a Nike Lunarlon foot bed for enhanced cushioning.
