S Weapon Wednesday: Weapon 86 Knicks Colorway

Crazy day here in Kentucky. A strong line of thunderstorms just swept across the state like a firm pimp slap. I watched it rain in 3 different directions. Then we lost power, then the power came on and then the TV went out. Oh, and I couldn’t find our battery radio or our War of the Worlds crank radio, thank you Tom Cruise. Needless to say it was pretty crazy. Speaking of crazy, these new Converse Weapon 86’s are just that. You can them in a very nice Blue/Orange Knicks inspired colorway.

Sorry for the late post today, I had to keep up with some crazy 5th graders. Besides the F’bomb and sneaky cell phone use, it was a rather pleasant day all around. Thanks for checking out the blog, enjoy the weather where ever you are!

The Converse Blog: Acie Law in the Converse Assist.

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.

So I had the interview on Thursday and it went great. I started putting the puzzle together in my head on why I should get the job. I knew the school and how it worked, it was really late in the summer so there wasn’t that much time to find someone, and finally the way they talked to me. I was asked about a coaching position before anything about the teaching position, so I thought the signs looked good. Anyway, to make a long story longer, they went with someone else. I can surely understand, it’s a fantastic school and anyone already in the school system would be crazy not to apply. So the job hunt continues!

Now lets talk about something more exciting, for everyone. Acie Law showed up for the Summer League games rocking the new Converse Assist. One of the new basketball shoes for the fall and also one of the new Team Shoes for this year as well. Here are some pics below, sorry for them being small…I’ll try to fix that and edit this later when I have a little more time.

Here is a colorway, that’s probably a sample, but it just gives you a closer look of the shoe Acie is wearing.

On Friday I reported that Maurice Evans had signed with Golden State….whoops so I jumped the gun on that and so did the report that I read. Actually it looks like he is going to, or has already, sign with the Hawks. Which means he goes from one team already with a Converse guy to another team with a Converse guy. But I love the Hawks colorways too, as you can see above. That’s it for today, thanks for checking out the blog and voting in the poll on your way out!

The Converse Blog’s Friday Flashback: Wrestling

admin — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 11:27:11 +0000

Wrestling, not wrasslin, Wrestling. You know what Kurt Angle used to be known for. Converse used to make shoes for that sport too. Also a sport I left off of the poll on the top of the page. So to sort of make up for that, today’s flashback is all about some old school wresting shoes..boots? Anyway, here they are.

These wrestling shoes are from the eltra era, probably in the 70’s. The black/white colorway is as classic as it comes. Also they have an outsole in a nice soft gum.

Flashback Re-issued! As if seeing the original wasn’t enough, now take a peak at the re-issued model coming out soon. These have be updated into a casual shoe with an actual midsole this time. Change the highth and the chevron ad a dash of green and there you go. I’d say a pretty good re-issue. There is also a white/navy colorway below, it came from http://www.converse.be.

I am strating to get backed up with all of the pics I’ve found recently, I might have to start posting more often. Stay tuned to see what happens. Thanks for checking out the blog and tell everyone you see, no really.
