Question
Read the article about Converse on Boston Magazine “Sneaker Wars: Converse vs. New Balance”
Do further related research and answer the following:
https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/article/2015/11/24/converse-sneaker-wars/
1. Will changing “The Chuck” and introducing the Chuck II be considered a smart marketing move over time? Why or why not? Use examples of other companies who have changed iconic products to support your position.
2. Is the Converse lawsuit vs. key competitors a good marketing tactic whether or not they win or lose in court or do they need to win? Why?
3. The article quotes a famous line of Coco Chanel’s “Only those with no memory insist on their originality”. How is this quote relevant to the marketing tactics of both Converse and its key competitors?
4. Clearly the fact that “Children take their first steps in them, teens wear them to prom and to graduate, adults get married in them” is a strength, but does this also create challenges in marketing that many other products do not face? How can Converse stay relevant to all these very different target customers and should they even try to do so? Your answer here should address both risks and benefits.
5. Is the fact that they are so imitated necessarily a bad thing? How do companies that have popular products like Converse use the 4 P’s to successfully compete with imitators in the marketplace? Find specific examples.
6. How does Converse differ from most all competing companies and products who constantly need to create new and unique styles to grow their business?
7. Name another company that has a product or style that has survived for decades like the Chuck Taylor All Star. This does not have to be footwear. Are there similarities in marketing tactics employed by the two companies that you can identify? Have they survived just by random luck (right place, right time kind of thing) or have they done specific things that have created their ongoing success?

There are things I failed to get a grasp on in my classes and for that reasons assignments often looked much more challenging for me. However, luckily I came across HwA and from my BSc N course till the final year of my MSc N course I always take their help and get good results.
The accounting tutors here can surely make the numbers talk. In my freshmen year, I was unable to understand what to put under assets and what under liabilities. It was back then I took their help and also helped me understand why “capital investment†is a liability to the business. I am doing my Masters now and still take their help.
When after completing my High School I decided to pursue graduation degree in Physics, I never knew things would be this hard. In fact fourth semester onwards I was feeling the pinch. I am glad that I came across TheReliableTutor and had an opportunity to interact with their online Physics electricity Experts. They did not only help me with my Physics electricity Assignments but also at the same time helped me to gain confidence. Today, while I am pursuing my Master’s degree, I still take help with my assignments.
After I started my course in Systems Diagramming and the Process Map using ERP, I was soon losing grip of the things as the teacher was moving too fast. Then eventually I came across HwA where the experts helped me with my assignments and also cleared my concepts.
Writing the final year dissertation paper was a big deal for me as it is the ultimate decider for my grades. Needless to say that I was very nervous but I got immense help from HwA throughout the tenure and helped me get a solid A at the end of everything.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
