You start with a basic shoe from a wide selection like their classic Chuck Taylor All Star model to One Star Classic to an All Star Double Tongue Hi-Top which comes in kids', mens' and womens' styles. Then you get to pick your own color or pattern for each side, the tongue, the lining, the laces, the racing strip, the sidewalls and even the stitching. You can customize them with prints from zebra, to skulls to the above cartoon bubbles or pick from a slew of hues.
