It's hard to say if there are many other shoe designs as iconic as the Chuck Taylor by Converse, but if there are then the new Converse San Francisco Store is sure to stock them. Designed with a distinct focus on the street culture and aesthetic that the brand has come to be known for, the Converse San Francisco Store is expertly designed to be something of a destination rather than a shop.
Filled with endless installations that are as individual as the shoes the store sells, the Converse San Francisco Store offers innovative personalization options for patrons including the ability to silkscreen a design onto a pair from a library of 150 images curated by the brand. The industrial nature is paid homage to with the exposed walls and industrial feel throughout.
