The newest shoewear company to release a Year of the Snake pack is Converse, which made the collection in its iconic Chuck Taylor silhouette.
The sneakers, which come in three different varieties, have a surprisingly more upscale feel to the traditional casual shoe. Each sneaker is adorned with the scaly snake print, which gives off a genuine appearance of it being the real thing. The light tan high top silhouette is adorned with brass studded details on the back panel of the shoe while the other two darker options have the same snake skin detailing as well as premium black leather finishing and a zip construction at the eyestays.
For those hoping to commemorate the slippery serpent, the Year of the Snake pack is one higher-end up option to add to your closet.
