Water Chucks

If you are well dressed man then you have at least one pair of Converse in your closet, if not, you better reevaluate what you consider style. Converse should be a staple in everyman’s wardrobe – classic black chucks are a must. Remember, wearing your chucks with your suit has been cooler much longer than those ugly bright coloured sneaks you are still rocking. After the first pair, you will want to add some more. This just might be your second pair.

They have now team up with Converse for Spring 2014 line. That’s right, your chucks with be waterproof.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
