Converse Turns 100 With Special-Edition Sneaker

— January 11, 2009 — Fashion
Iconic shoe brand Converse has issued these limited-edition 100th anniversary shoes in a specially-designed box that’s shaped like a pile of books. Appropriately, the shoes come with a book that covers Converse history as well as some feel-good branding featuring 100 of today’s biggest stars wearing their All-Stars.

Happy (belated) Birthday!

To be honest, it all sounds a bit artsy for a street shoe, but there’s no denying that these will be a future collectible. The sneakers are available in a choice of three colors and two sizes only--no price is available as yet.
Trend Themes
1. Limited Edition Shoes - Creating exclusive and limited edition shoes to commemorate an anniversary or special event can pique the interest of collectors and generate buzz around the brand.
2. Nostalgic Branding - Revisiting and highlighting a brand's history through packaging and promotional materials can appeal to consumers' sense of nostalgia and help to differentiate the brand in a crowded market.
3. Celebrity Endorsement - Partnering with prominent figures in pop culture to promote a brand or product can lead to increased visibility and resonate with fans of these celebrities.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Retail - Fashion retailers can capitalize on the appeal of limited edition products and nostalgic branding to create unique selling opportunities and build brand loyalty among consumers.
2. Marketing and Advertising - Marketing and advertising firms can leverage celebrity endorsement to increase awareness and recognition for a brand or product, particularly among younger demographic groups.
3. Collectibles - Manufacturers and sellers of collectibles can collaborate with established brands to produce highly coveted limited edition items that appeal to collectors and increase demand for their products.
