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!

Later on this year as part of their Converse Century Music Collection, Converse will release four Kurt Cobain shoes and three Grateful Dead shoes. I found these pics from Baggins Shoes.

Pretty simple and straight forward one star here. It’s distressed and has Kurt Cobain’s signature and what I believe is a quote of his on the insole. The other three shoes are Chucks and I post them later when it’s closer to their release, in June.
