Fun fact: A decent number of U.S. Navy SEALs wear Converse Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers during boat missions. Example: http://thelaymansperch.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/599966.jpg Inspired by SEALs, motivated by the recent release of "Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II"s, I bought this pair of deep Bordeaux Chuck IIs to wear during daily commuting and planning to wear these during airsoft ops and range days (in the future, of course).
