On the Waterfront
Bringing a beloved Boston-born brand closer to its roots, Converse recently unveiled its long-awaited world headquarters on Lovejoy Wharf (160 North Washington St.). The state-of-the-art 10-story building, a renovated brick edifice overlooking the Charles River and right near the Freedom Trail, offers not only office space for employees of the famed inventor of the iconic Chuck Taylor All Star sneaker, but also the Rubber Tracks recording studio and a 3,500-square-foot Converse at Lovejoy Wharf store. Featuring unique offerings available nowhere else, the store also boasts Blank Canvas, an area where customers can mix and match different materials and graphics to create one-of-a-kind footwear.
