Kyle KorverToday, Converse and Eastbay have announced the launch of “MyChucks,” a contest where participants design their own Chuck Taylor All Star kicks with the chance to have Converse actually make the shoe and sell it exclusively by Eastbay.
As part of the contest, Kyle Korver submitted his own design, which will be featured online, along with a video of Korver designing his shoe and explaining the process. Kyle’s shoe features pinstripes to represent all of the people in his life, and a red stripe to represent himself and his desire to be an original. Converse will produce 226 pairs of the shoe, which pays homage to Korver’s jersey number 26, and will be donated to the Kyle Korver Foundation.
To enter, go to mychucks.eastbay.com to download the entry kit.
The winner will be flown to Converse headquarters to work with designers and developers and create the final version of the shoe, which will be produced and sold on Eastbay.com beginning in January 2009.
