Purple Chuck Taylor Shoes - Core and Seasonal Colors

Last year (2008) Purple Chuck Taylor shoes hit a bit of a peak in popularity and became a bit difficult to find in stock from the most popular merchants online - they're one of the fun and "casually fashionable" looks in the Chuck Taylor collection. They may again become a high-demand item in 2009 but that remains to be seen.

Purple Chuck Taylor All Star shoes (like the rest of the collection in the Core lineup) are made with a canvas upper, vulcanized (to be made more flexible) rubber sole and have the classic look that can only come from "Chucks".

There are a few varieties available for Purple Chuck Taylor All Star shoes - Hi Top, Lo Top (Ox) and various styles available with seasonal Purple colors as well.

Hi Top Purple Chuck Taylor - Here we're talking about the classic Chuck Taylor "Hi's". The specific color of purple is called "Purple Passion" and is a darker shade of Purple. These are the most popular of all the purple shoes available. Classic "Chuck Taylor" signature badge on the side of the shoe. Cost commonly runs around $40 per pair.

Lo Top/Ox Purple Chuck Taylor - Again, this is the "Purple Passion" color that CT lovers have been looking for. These also have the classic, original CT look. Cost for these (like the Hi Top version) runs around $40 per pair.

Seasonal Purple Chuck Taylor - The seasonal Purple colors are a lighter shade, one called "Orchid", the other "Amethyst Orchid". These are a colorful addition to any Chuck Taylor collection. I've seen these in various styles including the Double Upper as well as the Double Tongue. Even though these shoes have a different design they are unmistakably "Chucks" with the same classic basic look. Cost for these runs a bit more than for the shoes in the Core collection at around $45 per pair.
