The Box Is The Bag, by Aldo

Dalmatian Chucks

I’ve had these dalmatian Converse Chuck Taylors for quite a few years and I still love them. They’re on the verge of tacky, so I’ve got to be careful about what I wear them with, but I’ve managed to pull off these once again this weekend. (Photo: Thiago Zanato)
