‘S Weapon Wednesday: Converse Weapon EVO! Finally
I was beginning to think that this day would never come. It seems like a year ago when I first saw some sample pictures of the Converse Weapon EVO. In fact it was so close to the end of the Fall 2008 season that I thought they might have even been samples of shoes that were scrapped. Thank goodness they weren’t. In fact they’re alive and well. With the lack of “He who we do not speak of” and his 5th signature shoe, the Weapon EVO is by far the highest profile release of the year for Converse. (More …)

‘s Friday Flashback: Pro Leather era basketball 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.

The Converse Blog: Acie Law in the Converse Assist.
No Comments »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 …)
