FotoFriday – Pumped Up Kicks

June 1, 2012 by Christine

I have been looking for green Chucks forever.
Okay…more like 6 months. But seriously I could not find a pair anywhere.
From Toronto to Grove CIty, PA.  No green. Not even on ebay.

So I took to the internet and made a pair. Yes – custom made a pair on the Converse website.  After I designed every single aspect of the shoe, and fell in love – the pop up came.
Converse does not ship to Canada.
I was not going to accept that. I had to have these. I enlisted the help of my most excellent American friend Laurie and within 3 weeks I had them on my feet.  I opened the box to find a surprise. When I was designing them, I was messing around with all the different options and didn’t realize that I saved the label. I didn’t mean to.
Check it:

Yes. The say “IRISH” on the heel.
I would not have done that intentionally. I am not 5. Don’t need my shoes labelled.
But when I saw it.  Well…I thought it was pretty rad.
I heart them so much.
