New Chuck Taylors Line Unveiled

"Shoes are boring; sneakers are iconic." This line is the slogan for Converse brand Chuck Taylors. A new line of Converse has been released to the public, but these aren't your average converse. What makes this line different is that the designs show album designs of metal legends Black Sabbath. The designs shown on the Chuck Taylors include the band’s albums Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Vol. 4, and Never Say Die. However, this isn’t the first time Black Sabbath Converse have been sold. Back in 2008, for the 100th anniversary of Converse, All-Stars released Converse similar to the ones available now, but with We Sold Our Souls for Rock N Roll as an available one, as well as World Tour 1978. However, it would be great if there were Sabbath Bloody Sabbath ones available as well.

Since Chuck Taylors and All-Stars are different models of Converse, there are more Black Sabbath ones to get. Metalheads, dedicated Black Sabbath fans like myself, and hipsters, ironic or not, will be up to buy the new shoes. I mean, anyone can get a t-shirt with Ozzy Osbourne on it or pick up Paranoid, but since the Chuck Taylors are the latest merchandise, there will be more sales and merchandise to collect.
