About Kate’s Shoes
Kate’s black-and-white Converse Chuck Taylors are more than just a pair of sneakers—they are a connection to every chapter of her life. She first slipped into them around the 6th grade, likely inspired by a Kurt Cobain image, and since then, they’ve become her signature. From adolescence to adulthood, these shoes have been with her through it all.

Kate’s fourth or fifth pair of Chucks, still low-tops and classic, are now a part of her identity. While she’s branched out with other shoes for comfort, these sneakers still bring her back to her roots, giving her the confidence she had in high school. They are a reminder of the person she’s always been and the person she continues to grow into.

These shoes have carried her through more than just concerts and art shows. They’ve traveled with her across the world—from Jamaica to Bolivia, Peru, and Mexico—while also marking significant moments in her life. She wore them when she walked onto her college campus for the first time and when she learned she was pregnant at nineteen. A year later, she bought a tiny pair for her daughter, sharing the legacy of those shoes.

Kate’s Chucks are with her as she continues her journey—creating art, traveling, and making memories with her kids and her soon-to-be husband. They remind her that each step is a part of something bigger, something unforgettable.

Sold out.
