Celebrating International Women’s day is different for everyone. Some buy a beautiful flower bouquet, others start a discussion on women’s rights in the world (yes!). And some people might be waiting for the new sneaker collections that are released every year on International Women’s day. That last desire, or actually all of them, is satisfied by Converse’s just released My Story collection, which you can find online at Footshop.

The collection consists of two colorways of the legendary Chuck Taylor 70 silhouette, whose roots go all the way back to the 1920’s. They are being released in vibrant colours, covered with countless personal stories, to serve as a daily reminder of the importance of standing up for yourself. All this on a slightly raised platform and in the spirit of vintage elegance quintessential to the Chuck Taylor 70.

Personally, I’m very happy this collection was created with the Chuck Taylor 70 model, which differs from the “classic” Chucks with the side stitching and the slightly yellowish midsole. Thanks to this, the result has a more premium vibe and is a bit better.

The March release date of My Story by Converse is perfect, as these canvas sneakers are ideal for spring. These two new colorways combining a part of history and a clear message join countless others already part of the Chuck Taylor 70 selection at Footshop, which already offers 65 options.
