    I want to apologize for the lack of post on here this week.  As it turns out when there is an ice storm 40 miles away your internet quits working for almost 3 days.  On Tuesday Kentucky got hit with snow, ice, and rain…we only got rain.  Do you know how long 3 days is in Internet time?  Don’t think about it too long or you’ll go insane.  So I could be over reacting quite a bit, but I did feel completely unconnected to the rest of the world.  (More …)

    Happy Belated 2009, I completely forgot to mention that on Wednesday. Hopefully you’re all enjoying a fresh start for this new year. It seems fitting that the first post of the new year would be a Friday Flashback. What a great way to break into the second Converse Century. These is a classic Converse ox shoe, but I can’t remember the name, but I have seen it in some classic advertisements before. (More …)

    Interview with SUBMiT.

    I think we can all agree that Converse and Music will be linked forever. Examples include the release of the “My Drive Thru” track in the summer. Also there have been a bevy of collaborations featuring Kurt Cobain, The Doors, Black Sabbath, The Grateful Dead, AC/DC, Metallica, Pink Floyd, The Who, and I am sure there will be more in the future. The majority of these releases have been Chuck Taylor All Stars with a few other models thrown in here and there. (More …)

    I was searching around on some of the international Converse sites and I came across these from Converse Korea. Previously I have shown you pictures of Weapons from Converse Korea, most they have been mid top Weapons with Straps.  Today I found a Weapon Ox that came with a strap.  Here it is in White/Black colorway.

    Thanks for checking out the blog, come back for Converse awesomeness.

    CX Professional Leather Vulc: Presidential Inauguration Edition

    Let me just say that today I am extremely proud to be an American citizen.  What happened today defies history, the amount of change that has taken place in our short existence of a nation is remarkable.  Regardless of who you voted for, today will be remembered as one of the most important days in the history of these United States.  Throughout President Obama’s campaign the word Change was seemingly used in every speech or campaign.

    ’s Friday Flashback: Pro Leather era basketball shoes.

    Category: Converse Classic Shoes

    Welcome to the Converse Blog’s Friday Flashback.  I am really excited for today’s post for a few different reasons.  More times than not the Friday Flashback post are my favorite, but my favorite posts are the shoes that I don’t know anything about.  Today I don’t have a name for these shoes, I am not even sure when they released.  However, my best guess is the late 70’s or the early 80’s.  I am also particularly excited about today’s post because I am getting out of down for a few days on a retreat to Gatlinburg, TN.  I am going with the Church I went to while I was in college, so I am going to be seeing a bunch of people I haven’t seen in awhile.  But anyway, enough about me lets get to the shoes.These shoes have the same midsole and outsole as the Pro Leathers, but has completely different upper.  The upper is made from a Maroon Suede, seriously you never see that.  The extra leather line around the ankle and the Chevron and Star appear to be Tan.  The heel tap also features the fantastic Star in Square logo.  There also seems to be some extra padding around the ankle that looks really comfortable.   These are screaming for a re-issue release.  (More …)

    Kirk Hinrich returns in the Converse 0100.

    Finally it happened the other night. I’ve been waiting since the summer Olympics to see the Converse 0100 on the feet of some NBA players. When Kirk Hinrich returned to the Bulls line up the other night he did it in a pair of Converse 0100. Personally this is my favorite Converse shoe to come out in quite awhile. If you haven’t tried on a pair of these yet then you’re really missing out. Hit up Eastbay, Finishline, or Converse.com for some deeply reduced prices. Kirk is rocking a White/Black/Red PE edition of one the cleanest shoes I’ve ever seen. (More …)

    ’s Weapon Wednesday: China Year of the Ox edition 

    12:57 pm on January 7, 2009
    Tags: China release edition, , Ox, , Wikipedia,   
    Category: Converse Weapon

    I am trying to do some really good detective work on these Weapons.  First lets start with what I know, these are China release edition of the Weapon.  The second thing I know is that there is a pattern on the Y bar that looks like an animal.  The third thing I know is that the animal in the pattern has horns.  After that I did what any good detective would do…head over to Wikipedia.  As it would turn out, there is a lot good free information there…who knew?  What I learned was that on January 26th 2009, China (and other countries that observe the Chinese new year) will celebrate the year of the Ox.
