The Converse Blog’s Weapon Wednesday: Slim Weapon + Elton Brand update

1:01 pm on July 30, 2008

Category: Converse Weapon

You’ve seen Weapons and you’ve seen the Poor Man’s Canvas Weapons….well if they mated you’d get today’s Weapon Wednesday. I am calling these the Converse Weapon Slim, but that’s just because I don’t have an official name and that’s the best I could come up with. These shoes are for those of you that like the look of the Weapon but don’t want to feel of a basketball shoe. They’re also for those of you that enjoy the Chuck Taylor mid-outsole but want a little more support for your ankles. Also these shoes are for everyone else, for various other reason. (More …)

You know that saying, never count your chickens before they hatch? Well I am guilty of doing just that. On Tuesday of last week I was in Lexington hanging out with some of my friends that I hadn’t really seen in a while. I had actually planed on coming home Sunday of last week, but I ended up staying longer. Then on Tuesday I got a call from one the teacher I did my student teaching with, and they just had a job open up for 6th grade social studies. So I went over on Tuesday and had a mini informal interview and came away with a real interview for Thursday. (More …)

Good and happy Friday to each and everyone of you. It’s been a crazy a few days for me and I am glad to get back to posting on the blog. I still can’t say what went down, I just don’t want to jinx it, but I hope by Monday that I can speak about it. Before we get to the blog I’ve got to post some bad news. If you haven’t heard by now, Derrick Rose signed a contract with Adidas the other day. Now I don’t know how serious a chance that Converse had to sign Rose, but I really had my hopes up. At the end of the day it has now been 17 years since Converse signed the #1 draft pick. This hasn’t always been a bad thing (Kwame Brown), but I do hope it’s a streak that can end next year. Now, let’s get back to the blog and today’s Friday Flashback. (More …)

Welcome to the Monday edition of the Converse Blog. I want to apologize for a skimpy and late Friday post. I was only focused on getting to see the Dark Knight and forgot all about posting. Hopefully I can make it up to everyone this week. I’ve been sitting on today’s post for a while know, and then Zappos ended up putting up the shoes last week. So I figured it would be good to go ahead and show them to you. You can view more pictures and purchase them here. (More …)

I love retro running shoes and recently Converse has been stepping their game up on these. Late last night the newest Converse running shoes showed up as Zappos Exclusive shoes.

After that there are 3 premium colorways. First up you can see a Black/Grey colorway followed by a Rum Raisin/Mocha Brown/Milk and Chocolate/Black/Milk. You can find more pictures and buy them here.

The Converse Blog: Elton Brand

So I leave on vacation for a week and Elton Brand signs with the 76ers. Then when I get home I see that Converse has finally publicly acknowledged that they signed Elton Brand, last year. However, it is only on one of their new Micro-sites. You can find it by going to the site It’s Been Way Too Long. I won’t spoil it for you, but it already has me fired up for next season. (More …)

Where ever competition was, Converse was there too. (More …)
