How the Converse New Counter Climate Collection Can Withstand Storms

Launching this Fall/Winter 2016–
Chuck II Leads Converse Footwear
Against the Rains

In our lifetime, we brave many storms. The strong ones survive and even come out stronger. We are a resilient people because God made us this way. Plus of course, we have help–from God and from other people.  Thankfully, some storms are not very difficult to weather. All we need is a pair of trusthworthy shoes that can keep our feet dry in the wet season.

Converse Counter Climate Footwear Collection
With Canvas, Leather and Rubber

Converse is taking wet weather head-on this season by combining classic sneaker designs with premium weatherized features. The debut of the Fall/Holiday 2016 Converse Counter Climate Footwear Collection gives us the necessary tools to combat the climate shifts while emphasizing essential weather-beating benefits.

The innovative sneaker collections feature a bold mix of colors and materials including water repellent canvas, rubber and leather, and waterproof neoprene. Divided into three unique categories: Shield Canvas, Leather, and Rubber– these collections are intended to stand up against the unpredictable inclement weather, especially here in the Philippines.

Each pair has been specially treated to help tackle rainy weather while maintaining comfort and style that we all have come to love in Converse. The Converse Counter Climate Shield Canvas sneakers have been given a DWR (durable water repellant) treatment, standing guard as the first line of defense against the rain. So your feet stay dry and comfortable while walking out in the rain.

For the holiday season, both new and time-honored styles endure the harsh elements with the Counter Climate Rubber collection. These rubber sneakers are winter-ready with water resistant material and heat retention.

Designed for the Chuck Taylor lover who can’t give up their Chucks no matter what the weather, the new Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II Shield Canvas sneaker combines the enhanced comfort of a Lunarlon sockliner, non-slip padded tongue and micro-suede lining with materials that can also withstand most climate challenges. Converse has added a water repellent Shield Canvas and a gusseted tongue, as well as removing the medial eyelets to make a durable sneaker that is ready for wet and rainy adventures.
