Converse Star Player EVO new colorway

Below is a new colorway of the Converse Star Player EVO.  I am not sure if these actually made it into production or not, I guess time will tell.  I know there are people still trying to find these fantastic shoes from last year.  There are a few other colorways floating out there too, I'll try to post them up next week.

Converse Star Classic Pro Mid.

Happy Friday!!! Today we have the Converse Star Classic Pro Mid.  At first they might look like any other Converse release but upon closer examination you can see that these are different enough to make it into your lineup.  I haven't seen them anywhere stateside yet, but they are in the Fall catalog so hopefully they're release soon.  They have showed up on Kickz.com which is were I got these pictures from.

Thursday Throwback: Converse in the NCAA aka Louisville Hate Day

Around Kentucky and all other places in the BBN, Big Blue Nation for those of you that don't know, today is Louisville Hate Day.  This is one of my all time favorite holidays as it signals the nearing Kentucky vs Louisville football game. 

However, Louisville isn't all bad, historically speaking.  There was a time before Ricky P that Louisville was one of the teams sponsored by Converse.  That was back in the day when Converse wanted to promote their basketball products and used college basketball teams to showcase their shoes and later jerseys.  Anyway, I thought it would be nice to show off what that used to look like and I found a great picture with U of L players wearing the Converse Springfield and Dr. J 2000 along with some other React shoe that I can't identify.

This picture is the only picture I want to see Louisville celebrating in for a long long time.  Happy Louisville Hate Day and Happy Thursday Throwback.

Friday Flashback; Converse Magic Johnson Energy Wave shoes.

Back in the day Converse created a Magic Johnson sub-brand that had shoes and apparel.  Each item used the Magic logos you see on the tongue and the side of shoe.  Below is a Black/Pink colorway of one of the shoes.  I am not quite sure which shoe this was, this is the only colorway I've seen of it.

 The shoes featured the Converse energy wave technology that they used across their performance lines.

First Look: Converse All American Mid

Welcome to the Converse Blog where today we have our first look at the Converse All American Mid in a Black/White colorway.  At first glance you may confuse this for the Converse sicks that came out last year, but the upper different.  However, they do still feature that great full length Balls technology.  There were other colorways in the Fall catalog, but we'll see if they actually make them or not.

You can pick these up at Holabird Sports!


Big thanks to The Converse Blog reader Aaron Johnson who brought these to my attention.

Friday Flashback: Converse 0100 Fruity Pebbles

Welcome to the Converse Blog's Friday Flashback.  Since today is College Colors Day  I thought I'd bring you a shoe that seems to have all of them.  

Below is the Converse 0100 in a sample Fruity Pebbles edition, or perhaps melted crayons.  If you never played in the 0100 you need to try and find yourself a pair, they're one of my favorite Converse basketball shoes of recent memory.

Converse Dr. J Pro Leather Horween Leather.

Converse continues to expand their First String line with the upcoming release of two new colorways of the Dr. J Pro Leathers.  This time they get a upper curtsy of Horween Leather from Chicago.  Look for the Black/Burgundy colorway to drop on September 10th and the Burgundy/Black colorway sometime in November.  Just like the last Pro Leather release these feature the Dr. J personal touch with gold foil on the side.

I usually try to bring you all different Converse coverage then everyone else, but these are just too stinkn' nice to miss haha.  Enjoy!
