John Varvatos’ collaboration with Converse since 2006 again has come up with something very fashionable. The Converse looks something like the Chuck Taylor that has been classed with the High and Low versions. The shoes were made with two colorways, Black and Brown leather basket weave uppers and White midsoles. Varvatos’ design in here shows his early obsession with rock n roll and as passionate designer. Stay tuned for more updates!

The power of Metallica is to last for eras, some say, and we don’t dispute that, but just add that the power of Converse is era-busting.

There are all the supreme artifacts of the Converse tradition squeezed into the texture of a stylish design, and the overall power and dominant beauty of the form is suited a work of art.

Converse Chuck Taylor - AC/DC Pack - June ‘09

We are so used to seeing the classic Chuck Taylor in canvas, that the Leather Pack offers a very different look. Here is the navy leather version of the Converse Chuck Taylor.

The colorway is very simple, yet still special. Navy is a nice change of pace compared to black. You can get these kicks right now at UNDFTD in both the high and low versions. I don’t like the Low at all, but the Hi isn’t bad. Via High Snobiety.

Converse has hooked up with Australia’s biggest outdoor music festival – Big Day Out – to create this limited edition Chuck Taylor Low. These shoes feature a white upper that is accented with the Big Day Out logo.

These sneakers will be released to Australian retailers only and Converse has randomly placed 50 “golden tickets” to the festival inside the shoe boxes. Expect the Big Day Out Chuck Taylor to be released in early December. Via Sneaker Freaker.

The Converse 1HUND(RED) series continues and this time they have hooked up with Dutch brand Wood Wood on the Chuck Taylor. These shoes have a monochromatic appeal using a combination of canvas and suede.

These sneakers are accented by red eyelets, custom tagging and a Wood Wood star map pattern on the inner lining. If you like a simple look, this Chuck Taylor is a great choice for fall. These shoes are expected to release at select accounts on October 1st. Via SlamXHype.

It seems like everyone in the United States has already seen The Dark Knight judging by last weekend’s box office sales. I found a pair of Chuck Taylor customs that make my wait for The Dark Knight easier to handle. Sweatshop Clothing has created a special pair of these familiar canvas kicks based on Heath Ledger’s character, The Joker.

The ominous phrase “Why so serious?” that appears in the trailer and promotional materials is written in red paint just above the outsole. An outstanding image of Ledger’s deranged Joker is placed just below the collars on both shoes. Sweatshop Clothing took great care to make Ledger’s likeness realistic to capture The Joker’s ability to terrorize without making a move.

The designer completed the Joker effect by adding spades, jacks, hearts and diamonds similar to the joker card that inspired Ledger’s character. I cannot wait to see this movie now that I have seen such a great representation by Sweatshop Clothing. You can see additional pictures as well as other projects by Sweatshop Clothing at the designer’s MySpace page linked here.

The picture above is the latest project by Sole Brother Custom Sneakers. These Chuck Taylor All Stars are designed in honor of Canada Day (or Dominion Day) which took place on July 1st. This national holiday is akin to the Fourth of July with fireworks and celebrations galore.

The maple leaf design emblazoned on the sides of these shoes is simple but effective. Sole Brother added radiating waves of red paint from the leaves to show Canada’s pride in its long history. My main problem with Sole Brother’s work on these shoes was the inclusion of the designer name on the heel. I think there may have been a better way to incorporate the designer’s website on the shoe instead of the clunky print used on the heel tab.

You can check out Sole Brother’s explanation of the Canada Day Chuck Taylors by heading to the designer’s website linked here. I want to wish my neighbors to the North a belated 141st birthday and Sole Brother clearly shares the same sentiment.
