Chuck Taylor Customs: The Joker
July 23, 2008
It seems like everyone in the United States has already seen The Dark Knight judging by last weekend’s box office sales. I found a pair of Chuck Taylor customs that make my wait for The Dark Knight easier to handle. Sweatshop Clothing has created a special pair of these familiar canvas kicks based on Heath Ledger’s character, The Joker.
The ominous phrase “Why so serious?” that appears in the trailer and promotional materials is written in red paint just above the outsole. An outstanding image of Ledger’s deranged Joker is placed just below the collars on both shoes. Sweatshop Clothing took great care to make Ledger’s likeness realistic to capture The Joker’s ability to terrorize without making a move.
The designer completed the Joker effect by adding spades, jacks, hearts and diamonds similar to the joker card that inspired Ledger’s character. I cannot wait to see this movie now that I have seen such a great representation by Sweatshop Clothing. You can see additional pictures as well as other projects by Sweatshop Clothing at the designer’s MySpace page linked here.

Those shoes are very unique. I like the way that the designer became creative with the shoes, and now I think the shoes are going to be just as popular as the movie!!!
