Customer Spotlight: Converse Chuck Taylor "NWO"










If you were a fan of pro wrestling in the 90s you no doubt remember the Monday Night wars between WCW and the WWF/WWE.  You probably also remember the New World Order (NWO), the faction consisting of two guys fresh out of the WWF in Scott Hall (Razor Ramon) and Kevin Nash (Diesel) along with the guy who became an icon in the WWF and is the biggest name in the business, "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan.

Hogan made history when he turned heel (wrestling term for bad guy) at Bash At The Beach 1996 and formed the group with Hall and Nash.



You probably also remember these classic NWO paid announcements (personal favorites of mine):



Being a big fan of wrestling then and now, I was pretty stoked when a recent client asked me to do up a pair of Converse Chuck Taylors with the classic NWO look.

The base shoe used for the custom was the black and white Chuck Taylor shoe:












And of course, the shoe had to include the NWO logo but I wanted to add it in a unique way as opposed to just putting one logo on each shoe.













So what I decided to do was do sort of a tile-style look on both shoes so that it would feature pieces of the New World Order (NWO) logo throughout both shoes.

Here's the finished product:















And there you have it...vintage Converse Chuck Taylors NWO black and white style!
