Converse One Designs
Converse has a section on their website where you can customize your own shoe over at www.converseone.com and purchase it after you're complete. A Percentage of the sales from the shoe you design will be donated to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis & Malaria.
It's pretty fun to customize the colors and words on the shoes. You can pick from Chuck Taylor All-Stars, Jack Purcells, Premiere One Stars and that also includes the high tops and low tops.
I love Converse sneakers so this is like "Converse Heaven" for me.
I had this idea of emailing my friends from the internet and having them customize their own Converse sneakers. Then have them email me back their designs and I'd put them on my website. Then have whoever visits my website vote on who designed the sneaker you'd most likely wear & the ugliest sneaker.
What does the winner get? The satisfaction of designing the coolest Converse sneaker in the world!
Check out the designs and don't forget to comment on what you think!!!

They all look like something that could be sold in stores, but that SD Charger shoe looks like a keeper. GSO for President!

We were trying to make the best design? Sorry I misunderstood, I didnt know converse shoes could look good so I just went with the most ridiculous. Then I added GSO to the back for extra points....O well...

Travis: I love you..is that too soon to say?
Posted by Gregg O'Connell | December 18, 2006 9:28 AM
Thank god you didn't get it.. any way.. I vote for travis's shoes... I like the skull thing..

JULIANNE: you're from Canada right? so I'm thinking your voite should only count as half a vote with the exchange rate and all
Posted by Gregg O'Connell | December 18, 2006 10:17 AM
I think I like Emily's the best... Purple and all... I also like Punky's all yellow ones. Rocka waka!! (that's my new saying for cool shoes)

erica: my new phrase for cool shoes "Gawd Awesome"
Posted by Gregg O'Connell | December 18, 2006 11:07 AM
well then my whole family votes for travis and that is 25 votes... at todays exchange rate at 21:42:45 UTC the rate is 1 CAD = 0.864081 USD so that makes my family votes worth 21.6020... so travis wins hands down... see and people think the canadian dollar is worth nothing.. kiss it greg..

But that has nothing to do with walking or shoes. Unless of course you are god.

julianne: votes only count if the person who is voting comments..so your familys 25 votes only count if they each individually vote on my site :P
erica: you love GOD!
Posted by Gregg O'Connell | December 18, 2006 1:50 PM
