'S Friday Flashback: Citadel Basketball T-Shirt.

Back in the day when Converse was more of a player in College athletics one of the schools they supplied shoes for was the Citadel.  Actually, if I remember correctly the Citadel was one of the last schools to wear Converse back in the late 90's.  However, given the logo used on this shirt it most certainly came from the 80's.  Go Bulldogs!

'S Weapon Wednesday: 90's Weapon Hi

Welcome to The Converse Blog's Weapon Wednesday!  I've been sitting on these Weapons for a couple of months now but I just couldn't hold back any longer.  At some point in the 90's Converse released the Weapon's again.  The upper looks, for the most part, exactly like the Weapon of the 80's.  What really sets these apart is the midsole and I assume the outsole is different too.  On the midsole there is a Converse branding hit near the toe cap area of the shoe.  Then in the heel area of the midsole there is a purple section that travels up from the outsole.  You'll see what I am talking about below... 

That's it for today,  still no word on any of the rookie shoe contracts so stay tuned.

'S Friday Flashback: School's Out for Summer edition!

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow... aka it is the last day of the school year.  These means, more than anything, that I have more time to spend on the Blog.  I am very excited to try some new stuff out this summer with the blog, so I'm open to suggestions.  I've been really pleased with the increase number of comments, and the average number of hits per day is on the rise.  I am really exhausted and my mind has been running for this day for a long time, so with that in mind let's jump to today's Friday Flashback.     

  

Today we have a pair of Converse Running shoes from back in the day.  I am not sure of the name of this shoe, or exactly when it came out.  I would be willing to say that it came out in the 80's though, just from what I've seen on other 80's Converse running shoes.  

 

 

 

Well that's it for today, thanks for checking out the blog.  Keep the comments coming and for those of that have sent me emails in last week, I am so sorry I've been slack, but I will get back to you soon.
