Converse Pro Leather 2012 Basketball Shoe

Here is the Converse Pro Leather 2012 basketball shoe.  You probably won't get a chance to buy it here in the States.   But as loyal reader Aaron Johnson pointed out to me, it is up on Converse Argentina website.  If you happen to know anyone in Argentina that can hook you up,  you might be able to get your feet in these.   Speaking of Argentina,  Men's Olympic team has 4 players wearing Converse this year.

March Misses Converse: Terry Black and the Baylor Bears

The 1999-2000 Baylor Bears were the last Converse team to wear the Chuck Taylor name.  This was during the time when Converse was using the Chuck Taylor patch on their performance line.  One must wonder what Chuck Taylor would think of Converse basketball today...

Without question the best player on that Baylor team was Terry Black, check him out below.  Those shoes he's rocking had React Juice II
