I’m a fan of Robert Indiana’s iconic “LOVE” motif, he is one of the original pioneers of the pop art movement and is recognized around the world as a great symbol of optimism. The definition of optimistic rebellion, Indiana’s artwork broke boundaries and changed the face of the art world, while injecting informal humor, irony and pop culture references along the way. Iconic itself, the Chuck Taylor All Star shoe has long been worn by artists who are driven to realize their vision and in the process change popular culture. This collection is dedicated to those folks who chose to follow their own path and create symbols of optimism and hope. The collection is inspired by a few of the original color iterations of Robert Indiana’s iconic “LOVE” artwork. I “LOVE” the collection, available at www.converse.com for $55.
