    What a crazy week. I was all set to post the big post I’ve been talking about on Wednesday and then my Mother got sick and since I hadn’t called to sub that day I told my Dad that I’d take care of her so he didn’t have to take a day off of work. The only problem was in the all the excitement I forgot to post anything let alone the larger piece. Which at this point probably appears more important and interesting than it really will be. Either way, I didn’t get to post today because I had to watch High School Musical 2: 3 times today… (More …)

    What a day, I finally get to let the cat out of the bag about the Wade 4. I am more excited for this Wade release than any other, with the only exception possibly being the first Wade. Why, might you ask? The answer is simple, the brand new Converse Suspend Technology makes its debut in the Wade 4. For the first time since the end of the Converse Icon, a Converse shoe will have an honest to goodness cushioning technology. (More …)

    The Converse Blog’s Friday Flashback: Kentucky Wildcats 1996-97 Converse Jersey

    I wanted to give some love to the poll winner today, but I also thought I’d change it up some and not post shoes. So I dug into my folders and came up with these pictures of the 1996-97 Kentucky Wildcats Home Jersey and Shorts. This was the last year Kentucky wore Converse and it was the season after Kentucky won a 6th Championship. This was noted by a special patch on the shorts. You can’t really tell from these pictures, but the there is a monochrome stripe pattern down the jersey and shorts. It is similar to the new Nike Kentucky jerseys in which the pattern is the same color as the jersey. It was pretty interesting at the time, hopefully I can find some action shots for you all someday.

    Good Wednesday World, and welcome to the latest edition of The Converse Blog’s Weapon Wednesday.

    Happy Friday, and welcome to the Converse Blog’s first ever Flash Forward. Today instead of looking back into the Converse archives, I’ll be looking forward to an upcoming Converse release. Soon Converse will be releasing the Converse Wade Slash the first none signature and none team Wade basketball shoe. Already this shoe has been seen on the feet of Acie Law and Alando Tucker. One of the interesting features of this shoe is the Velcro straps that connect from the tongue of the shoe to the sides. This makes for an interesting use of the Converse logo in a more functional way than just branding. The shoes are double-lasted to give that low to the ground speedy look that helped to make the Wade 1 and 1.3 so popular…well that and the guy who was wearing them. (More …)

    Category: Company Events, New Converse Trends

    Recently these shoes, the Converse NYX Automatic showed up over at Eastbay. However, I first saw these on TaoBao about 2 or 3 months ago. To me they have a lot of similarities to the Converse Transition which was a Finishline with a mix of the Converse Assist. The main influence from the Assist appear to be in the outsole which is the same for the Converse Double Double also. (More …)

    Here is an interesting twist on an all-time Classic Converse. The Lakers colorway of the Weapons is seen below. However, the gold portions of the shoe have been replaced with a Gold Faux-Snakeskin pattern. This results in a darker gold and purple colorway of this Weapon. Sadly, these are only dropping in Japan. (More …)

    As you all know Team USA took home the gold during the 2008 Beijing Olympics and if you read this blog often then you know that Dwyane Wade was rocking fresh united we rise colorways of his Wade Team Signature shoe for this year. Throughout the Olympics he wore two main colorways of the shoe, one that was released in limited numbers to the general public and another that was not released. Well recently I found picture and video evidence of a 3rd Olympic Wade Team Signature shoe and this one pays tribute to the Bird’s Nest or Olympic Stadium in Beijing. Here are some pictures from a TaoBao auction and a video from StackTV featuring Michael DiTullo talking about the Wade Team Signature below. (More …)
