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

First Look: Brand New Converse Chuck Taylor x Batman

DC and Converse are at it again, this time with a new Chuck Taylor featuring a version of this Batman logo below.  A version of this logo first appeared in the March 1970 issue of Batman.  To the best of my googleing, it was created by Gaspar Saladino.   The Yellow and Blue are replaced with Black and Silver.   By the way this info came from artist Todd Klein's blog, he's worn many hats in the comic book industry, so he should know.  Check it out here.

I'm not sure when these will see a release, but I they have them for sale at Converse Korea.  Like the other DC Comics x Converse shoes I would expect these to be exclusive to Journeys so keep an eye out there.

Converse All Star Outsider Mid, oh and also it's boot

Converse continues dropping boots this Fall season with the Outsider Mid.  I just really wish there was a brown colorway, but enough about me...The Outsider Mid comes in a Deep Lichen Green colorway and then a traditional Black.  You'll notice some familiar Chuck Taylor features on the Outsider, for example, the toe cap and ankle patch.  I have a pair of the Outsider Hi top from last season and I've been really impressed with how they've felt.  Take a look at the pics below.

You can find these at Converse.com for $70  Thanks for checking out the blog and don't forget to follow along on twitter @TheConverseBlog
