JIMI HENDRIX CONVERSE IN THE WILD

I've been keeping an eye on a number of shoe shops in Leicester over the last week or so for first sight of the Converse All Stars on which is reproduced artwork from the 1967 Jimi Hendrix Experience album, Axis Bold as Love with its pantheon of Hindu deities and sacred figures. This product has been met with strong prtest from many sections of the Hindu community, not only in this country, but also around the world. Today, on a family trip to London, I see my first pair in the wild - in Carnaby Street, appropriately enough!
