Converse x Dr. Romanelli...

The latest artist to contribute to the humanitarian project Converse (Product) Red is none other than apparel customizer Dr. Romanelli. Famous for his customized jackets and the use of vintage materials, he has created a band-aid Chuck Taylor which I think has a deeper meaning of 'band-aiding' or fixing the problem with AIDS. Recently released at select Converse dealers, they've been literally flying off the shelves.

Yours truly was fortunate enough to snag a pair. As you can see, this is another example of innovation...from a non-Nike brand. I won't be wearing these babies for a while.
