This was the scene yesterday as the Converse One Star World Tour came to visit us for a few hours. We held a signing at our East store and were stoked to see how many people came out for it, it was overwhelming. Once everyone got their signatures two buses ran the masses to Mile End where a heavy session ensued.Thank you to everyone who showed up and to Converse, especially Jerome Campbell who helped us make sure everything ran smoothly. Here is a little gallery from yesterday. Thanks to Reece Leung for the photographs. My pictures are interspersed with his so if you notice a dip in quality you will know that my little camera and my shutter finger are to blame. If you weren’t there enjoy living vicariously through this post and if you were we hope you can spot yourself in some of the photos…
