DC Comics is celebrating 80 years of Batman this season and rolling out an exciting lineup of projects to assist in honoring the Caped Crusader. This week, Converse debuted their new Batman-themed lineup, featuring more than a handful of various Chuck Taylors.
The canvas uppers of the Converse Chuck Taylor have taken on plenty of different character-themed patterns and graphics over the years, and this month the Boston-based brand unveiled their latest. Teaming up with DC Comics, the Chuck Taylor will help celebrate Batman’s 80th anniversary next month through a wide range of comic-inspired graphics. So far, there are at least two sets of both high and low versions of the legendary silhouette, each with a simple logo-based pattern, as well as imagery pulled directly from the source material. Some show Batman and Robin running next to each other, while others depict head to head clashes with their expansive rogues’ gallery, while on the simpler side of things, one is printed all over with the logo of the 60s TV show starring Adam West.
