Converse at Lovejoy Wharf

Boston


Occupying the ground level of the Converse world headquarters, this flagship store has a sweet selection of its classic sneakers, including some true originals. Look for a handful of styles with Boston themes – 'Exclusive at Lovejoy Wharf' as they say. Or you can customize a pair with your own colors and images.

Converse started making shoes right up the road in Malden, MA, way back in 1908. Chuck Taylor joined the 'team' in the 1920s and the rest is history.
