Converse has created a great advertising campaign. All is perfect: idea, photos, and creative strategy.

Famous advertising photographer Andrzej Dragan and JWT Amsterdam have developed a bright advertising campaign for a brand of sports footwear.

Presentation sneakers as an outer clothing continues advertising strategy of the company chosen some years ago.

The images created by Dragan — the revolutionary, asocial type, bubble-girl and a victim of beauty — precisely get to target audience. They are really great!

The Polish photographer Andrzhej Dragan makes photos during free time from physics. Yes, he teaches physics at the Warsaw University and even has got some awards in this area. But when you look at these beautiful photos, you start understanding his creative nature!

Converse is more than just footwear. It is a history of legendary sportsmen, innovators united together by love to sports. And this history proceeds almost whole century. When Marquis M. Converse has opened Converse Rubber Shoe Company in Malden, Massachusetts in 1908 he could hardly imagine that his label would become a cult for America.

The Great Converse Event: “Heaven is a Playground” Anniversary

admin — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 12:02:10 +0000

Hi! Today I’m really exited with writing here. Yesterday I visited the great Converse and Dime Magazine party hold in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. The event was devoted to the “Heaven is a Playground” book thirty-fifth anniversary. You know that Barack Obama himself told it was his favorite basketball book of all times.

The Great Converse Event

“There were no cell phones, no laptops, no disco, and the Internet wasn’t even a word,” Telander, a former SI senior writer, writes in the introduction to a new edition of Heaven, released last week by Bison Books. “But the people were the same, and so were their dreams…. [And] by God, there was basketball. I promise you that.”

Converse made a perfect party for all basketball fans

There were many famous players, shoe connoisseurs and musicians like Aaron Owens aka AO from And-1. Bobbito Garcia and DJ Rich Medina. Barack Obama didn’t come.

Converse made a perfect party for all basketball fans. It was really cool and I have a good time

New Converse Marquette Gear.

admin — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:08:00 +0000

Well it’s been made pretty clear since Dwyane Wade was moved to Jordan that Marquette would also be moved. In fact in their recent media day Marquette wore the same jersey design with the Jumpman logo replacing the Converse circle star. However, over at GoMarquette.com ’s store you can find all kinds of new Converse gear. I know it’s new because it features the Star Chevron logo that would have been on the actual jerseys this year. You can also find some new Converse Marqutte stuff at Eastbay.com.

I’m really torn on what to do here. I’d like actually have some Converse basketball shorts with the Star Chevron logo. I know Marquette won’t be wearing Converse anymore, and therefore I don’t really want to support them. I also know how long it was between Converse jerseys in the NCAA so I’m really tempted buy some of the gear. You know, just incase it’s nearly another decade before we see Converse jerseys again.

I apologize for the lack of posting, it’s been a wild week. School has been really kicking my butt recently with formal observations taking place yesterday and tomorrow. Thank you all for hanging in there with me and don’t forget to follow along on twitter @TheConverseBlog.

admin — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:00:00 +0000

Chalk this up as a very pleasent surprise. I never thought we’d see a true Converse One Star for quite a while. Which is kind of a double edged sword, because by all accounts the One Star line at Target is
doing very well. Either way, the Converse One Star is back with a revised and re-issued 1974 edition. Which recently went up at Converse.com as an exclusive shoe for the website. You can pick up a pair for 70 bucks right now in the colors pictured below.

That will do it for a wonderful Monday….okay so I am hoping it’s a wonderful Monday. Thanks for checking out the blog, don’t forget to follow along on Twitter @TheConverseBlog I’d really like to get my follow count up so hook me up with your follow Firday’s this week!

Converse brings us Elton Brand’s new signature shoe, the EB2!

admin — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:03:07 +0000

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. (October 22, 2009) – Good things happen in threes. The 2009-2010 NBA season marks three notable returns for 10-year NBA veteran Elton Brand and Converse. Brand returns healthy for his second season with the Philadelphia 76ers, Converse’s iconic Star Chevron logo is once again featured on basketball footwear, and Converse returns with another Elton Brand signature shoe called the EB2.

The EB2 is a follow-up signature basketball shoe from last year’s first-ever Elton Brand signature shoe, the EB1. After a successful year with the EB1, Converse again partners with JCPenney to offer an affordable performance basketball shoe for adults and kids.

“I grew up watching basketball’s greatest players wearing the Converse Star Chevron logo on the Weapon and the Pro Leather. To have this logo on the EB2 is a badge of honor,” said Elton Brand. “The EB2 is a great looking, affordable shoe that offers comfort and stability with the appeal of being a signature model. It’s my goal to stay healthy this season and showcase the EB2 with successful, solid time on the court.”

The EB2 is designed for basketball players who specialize in quickness, agility and versatility. The shoe is made of durable leathers for optimal support and features perforation in the toe box and midfoot, providing improved ventilation and comfort. The EB2 also includes speed lacing for a sleek look and a spat strap that provides additional lock down for enhanced support. The midsole is made of light weight EVA, while the outsole has multidirectional circle bone traction, forefoot flex groove and a decoupling heel for optimal ground contact when landing.

In addition to Converse’s Star Chevron logo, the EB2 features Elton Brand’s Converse logo, which was introduced at the start of last season.

The Converse EB2 is available now and retails for $65 in adult sizes and $50 in kid sizes. The EB2 is available exclusively at JCPenney locations nationwide and online at jcp.com and converse.com. It will roll out in three colorways this season including black/white/red, white/black/red and white/black.

About Elton Brand
One of the premier post players in the game since being selected as the first overall pick of the 1999 NBA Draft, Elton Brand returns for a second year as a Philadelphia 76er. A two-time NBA All-Star selection and the 2000 NBA Rookie of the Year, Brand averaged 13.8 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game during the 2008-09 NBA season. He was named the consensus college player of the year following his sophomore season at Duke University, where he led the Blue Devils to the NCAA Championship Game. The recipient of the 2006 NBA Sportsmanship Award, Brand also founded the Elton Brand Foundation in 2000 to help communities through educational and recreational opportunities.
