Converse sponsors the Open Gym event where inner-city kids get together to play basketball in local gyms across the country. They play all day and a few kids are selected to try on the new sneakers. Someone always wins a pair at the end. Steve Boyle Photo has been covering the event since the beginning of 2009. View the images from the Philadelphia event held at Girard College below.
