Rocking Minimalist! Converse

Rocking Minimalist!

Converse’s association with almost all forms of art has been established for a long time, and to this day, Converse continues to be part of the music scene, immortalizing the greatest and best the music industry has to offer. Celebrate Converse and music together with the season’s featured artist – The Ramones!
Signature canvas to go along with The Ramones’ signature beat

They’ve started a trend, released albums left and right, toured here and there, and eventually said goodbye to the world, but what they left behind lives on far more than they expected when they formed The Ramones in the 70s!

Though they didn’t become commercially successful, The Ramones made up for being the band many punk acts, and even hard metal acts, strive to become musically. Their fast-paced style and songs that are barely two minutes long was a breath of fresh air on the overly saturated ballad and pop scene of the time.

Simple and classy complements The Ramones’ understated style perfectly


But what made them a tough act to follow? It’s their distinct style that goes beyond what other bands were doing. Creating and developing their unique sound, their performance an unforgettable experience, and their fashion style… minimal. And yet, the uniformity of their looks and their short sets made an impression on many bands that followed after like The Clash.

Converse pays tribute to this phenomenal band this season with The Ramones very own Music Collaboration release! Gaining inspiration from their minimalist lifestyle with that unfathomable edgy appeal, Converse had developed designs fans of the band will definitely find appealing.

You can be a rock star with the edgy appeal of tooled leather!

Classic canvas chucks gained another patch featuring The Ramones Hey Ho Let’s Go logo! Available in Chuck Taylor signature black and this season’s amber gold for P 2,950, the shoes come with two laces to let you customize the look you’re going for!

Simplicity and that adorable distressed look come together for a grungy pair with The Ramones logo stamped on the side. Done up in parchment, this Chuck Taylor kick is oozing with retro appeal at P 2,950 a pair.

Repeat logo prints do have that certain charm; it definitely deserves a second glance. Though it may seem unlike the minimalist Ramones, but it is simple enough that a member of the band might have rocked it during their heyday for P 2,950.

The cherry on top of this collection is the ultra-stylish distressed leather! Made with premium leather in signature Chuck Taylor silhouette and Converse attention to detail, this particular pair is enough to make a fan salivate and most likely will soon be part of The Ramones Museum. Achieved punk perfection for P 4,550!

Rock out anew with The Ramones in Converse Chuck Taylor Music Collaboration at select Converse stores nationwide! Don’t forget to check us out online at www.converse.com.ph and on the Converse Philippines Facebook fan page.
