Converse Joins The Pride Parade

Yesterday it was Adidas and today it’s Converse that steps out with a pride-related shoe line.

The Converse Pride Collection is honored to join the LGBT movement. Any crusade that hits the streets as loud and passionate as this one definitely needs sneakers to fit the occasion. We happily abide. The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Pride hi-tops are adorned with stylish patterns and every color of the rainbow. Each color represents a special meaning to the community. Each step we take brings us closer to universal tolerance and equality.

Memo to Brian Brown: Converse is owned by Nike, the world’s largest sporting goods manufacturer. Nike is ranked #111 on the Fortune 500 with annual sales over $25 billion. (Tipped by JMG reader Alan)
