Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Günstig has just announced a Black Sabbath collection depending on its classic Chuck Taylor All-Star sneaker design, that could be even more of a brilliantly synergistic marketing concept than anyone can have ever guessed. A simple go through the lives of Chuck Taylor and Ozzy Osborne would seem on bearing this out.Metalheads, ironic or un-ironic hipsters, wannabe hessians among others now take over their collection of four different Black Sabbath kicks: artwork on the band's grainy self-titled 1970 debut featuring the Mapledurham Watermill in Oxfordshire, England complete with a stitched Black Sabbath tongue; another based on Sabbath's second release "Paranoid" achievable album's phased-out picture of a person wielding a sword

a sneaker in line with the band's last studio Converse Slip On Deutschland album "Never Say Die!' by having an interior liner featuring classic white and black images on the original line-up; and another featuring an embroidered logo from Black Sabbath’s 4th studio album “Vol. 4” with a graphic of Ozzy from that album's cover.All of which is fine and well, but one has to wonder what Chuck Taylor, the shoe's namesake and cager in charge of one of the most the successful selling basketball shoe ever sold, would think of the partnership especially in light of Ozzy Osbourne notorious behavior. For example his well-documented battles with habit, biting heads off winged creatures and urinating on national monuments among a number of other transgressions.

Meanwhile, All Star Converse Wei? Deutschland who was born in 1901 in Azalia, Indiana, on first blush, appears to be to have little that is similar to the "madman." In 1921, based on the Basketball Hall of Fame site, Taylor "hobbled right Converse Chicago sales office complaining of sore feet and persuaded executives to make a shoe particularly for basketball. Taylor, who has been a two-time All-State selection at Columbus High School along with a journeyman jump shooter for eleven professional seasonswas directing his own course and interested in all issues with basketball promotion." That appears to be to own nothing that resembles Ozzy's rather loutish behavior.

Chuck Taylor also stood a "dark side." Taylor allegedly claimed he would be a "veteran with the 'World Champion' Original Celtics from New york plus the 'Olympic champion' Buffalo Germans. He was neither, even so the myth helped sell shoes." And 1957, Mr. Taylor, supposedly "wear a basketball clinic at Westminster College in Fulton, Mo., then ran off the using the athletic director’s wife. 'He previously women everywhere,' said long-time associate Joe DeanThough most will never know the historical context from the Chuck Taylor-Black Sabbath branding partnership, ultimately, all of that really matters, is how damn cool these sneakers look.
