Here’s what you can expect.

  • Pick your favorite sneaker design and color (read: every style of All-Stars, from High Tops to Low Tops and everything in between).
  • Browse the custom patches to add flair to your sneakers. There are cute everyday choices like smiley faces and stars; local options like a Boston skyline and the Swan Boat patch; and variations of the signature Converse logo.
  • Swap out the laces for other colors and materials like velvet, or keep the traditional white ones.

From the editor
It’s a last call for trash can nachos, Boston. Guy Fieri’s Tequila Cocina is expected to be replaced by a new game-based eatery called Play. While I do appreciate the entertainment value of the Dave & Busters vibes next to the Garden and Big Night Live, I will miss those messy, delicious nachos.
