cons

Converse skateboarding seems to go to the custom design sneaker look with this new model from their CONS x Thrasher collection. Converse was wise enough to collaborate with the skate bible Thrasher for the “prevent this tragedy” pack in order to mark the forthcoming video release of the same brand.

The sneaker comes in a canvas black leather with white basting stitch lining the upper shoes. It comes with black shoe laces and white midsole. The sneaker comes with a mint green lining between the lining on the upper shoe and midsole. It also comes with the tag in black in the shoe’s midsole – “Prevent this tragedy.”

New converse Chuck Taylor All star x Patta and Pro Leather 76 Model

November 13th, 2009 by dooce Stored in: Collaborations, Converse

conv_patta_gry-570x427

Check the new model of Converse Chuck Taylor All Star with Patta and Pro leather 76 Collaboration. You will definitely love the sytle, texture, and class of their newest design.

For someone who is not totally acquainted with modern street culture, it is very confusing to make the difference between Parra and Patta.Parra actuall comes from European names, upon viewing the former’s entire collection for Converse.  Let’s take the Lincoln/Kennedy-style analysis a step further: Parra, who designed a special Converse Chuck Taylor All Star earlier this year, also just dropped a Nike Air Maxim 1 and two matching varsity jackets.  Meanwhile, Patta had designed two Converse hightops (quilted grey Chuck and burgundy corduroy Pro Leather 76) with a reversible varsity jacket to match or contrast either pair.

You can check this sneaker at HUF website on November 14th.

converse-all-star-strap-hi-00-570x367

The new Converse All Star Strap Hi Leather sneaker becomes competitive in terms of design. The new model comes in double strap to their staple shoe. You will definitely love the new Converse because Converse seems to extend a lot of effort to make its new model unique and stand out in the market.

The sneaker uses straps instead of shoe laces and choking the angles. The two Velcro straps add a more contemporary look. Elastic padding is fitted on the upper heel for extra comfort.  Even DC got the hint and made the Admiral WT. The sneaker comes in white and black for the new look for the old shoe brand. The sneaker comes on the streething website.

New Release: Converse St. Hounds Hi

October 12th, 2009 by sherylem Stored in: Converse

converse_hounds-tooth_hi-top

Based on Converse’s own Weapon silhouette, these new releases from Converse consist of two colorways. It features a hounds tooth print in the uppers and shiny accents that vary depending on the colorway you prefer.  All the elements in this collection have been well-thought and well-placed. The overall look have been unified by the black/white accents of each colorway. Clean and classic, this collection should have no difficulty becoming a hit. Although I think Converse is not handling gold colorway as good as other brands have, the silver/white colorway on the other hand is to die for.

This will be available soon at Converse retailers in Japan for about $125.
