Converse 1988 Energy Wave vintage sneaker ad @ The Deffest

Converse "Energy Wave" vintage sneaker ad

November 17, 2018

RUN! We're going to fast forward up to 1988 and the Converse "Energy Wave" kicks. These shoes were supposed to have a longer lasting cushion and be cooler (temperature-wise) than their competition. I think in this scenario I might rather have a surf board 🏄‍♂️🤙 than a pair of sneakers, but that's just me. 🌊🏃

​Ad info is below:
