Sneakers are a staple in every woman’s wardrobe. Amidst rows of ballet flats, strappy sandals, flip-flops, high-heeled peep-toes, and pointy stilettos, there are at least one or two pairs of sneakers that stand out from the pack. And more often than not, they are Chuck Taylors—they have been, for a century now.

Converse reaches its 100th year in the shoe business this year, a century of safe, durable, and most especially stylish rubber soled shoes, borne out of the 1908 slipping accident of Marquis M. Converse. More than being the original shoes for athletes, Converse has evolved into one of the world’s iconic shoe brands—every pair is a statement of the wearer’s personality, mindset, and lifestyle. Converse has a wide variety of styles and designs to suit both men and women from all ages and walks of life.

The brand marks its 100th year with the Converse Century celebration, which kicks off with the Spring collection. True to form, the Converse Spring collection captures the consumer’s style and character. Women will definitely love the fancy and colorful new lines of Chuck Taylors—from psychedelic to graffiti—that could add a funky twist to their usual wardrobe. Some of the designs from the Spring collection are unveiled after the jump.

Women can unleash the rock star in them and strut around the metro in the Psychedelic line of Chuck Taylors. Inspired by the music of psychedelia glam, hard rock, acid rock, punk, and funk, this line was influenced by fantasy and mythical literature and lyrics. Perfect with your favorite pair of jeans or sexy little denim skirt, its fancy design can take you from a day out malling to a night of hard rocking and street-partying.

For women who want to go bold or “emo,” or those looking to spice up their shoe collection with a wildly printed pair of sneakers, the Graffiti line of Chuck Taylors is a must-have. The name of the line itself evokes vandalism, art expression, and the strong, emotional music of the 80s era. With an outfit defined by sneakers bearing the expressionist letterings and drawings, the fun-loving you will certainly stand out.
