Go for a classic with a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers

He just won the Oscar for Best Male Actor but now it's back to reality for Eddie Redmayne. The Brit returned home to London in a casual ensemble of jeans and a pea coat but his choice of footwear was surprisingly normal. The Theory Of Everything star chose a pair of worn in Converse sneakers.
