Converse Jack Purcell Sport Ox

It's not hard to see that the Converse Jack Purcell has started to grow in popularity as Converse has been tweaking them up more frequently.  Today is a perfect example of such tweaking, below is the Converse Jack Purcell Sport ox.  They come in suede and leather versions and are currently up at Finishline.com for $64.99.  Check them out below in all 3 colorways.

Converse Outsider Boot!!!

Sooooo....If you haven't noticed, it's getting colder. That's because the tilt of the Earth is in such a way that the Suns' rays are hitting on the southern hemisphere more than the northern hemisphere. I know this because I just got finished teaching 100ish 6th graders about the seasons in my Geography class.

It also means that with colder weather you might need some more weather appropriate footwear. Converse has decided to help us out this year with a boot. If you don't know, Converse actually started as a rubber shoe company making boots...but since people didn't really buy rubber boots in the hot spring/summer months. So they decided to make shoes using canvas, which was warm weather friendly.

The Converse Outsider boot is available in Brown and Black.  I've decided to show you the brown colorway, the black colorway is in a monochrome black.  You can purchase the Tan Outsider here at Finishline.com

Well that's it for today, look for some coverage on the Weapon EVO shortly.  Don't forget to follow along on twitter @TheConverseBlog.  Right now I've got 149 Followers and I'd really like to have it up to 200 ASAP!  Come peoples help a Blogger out!  Thanks for checking out the blog!!

Converse Coolidge

Recently I've shown you pictures from CONS Skateboarding well it seems as if Converse has a second group of Skate shoes that have dropped to more traditional retailers.  Finishline seems to have the largest selection of the shoes.  One of them is the Converse Coolidge which is profiled below.

The Converse Blog: Converse NYX Automatic

Recently these shoes, the Converse NYX Automatic showed up over at Eastbay. However, I first saw these on TaoBao about 2 or 3 months ago. To me they have a lot of similarities to the Converse Transition which was a Finishline with a mix of the Converse Assist. The main influence from the Assist appear to be in the outsole which is the same for the Converse Double Double also.





These shoes scream fast and they're very clean. They also come in a Black/Black colorway that Eastbay has too. Well that's it for today, I am off the Bowling Green for a few days and may or may not be able to post again before Friday. Check back to see, thanks checking out the blog and remember to vote on your way out.

The Converse Blog: Wade 3 Grey/Black/Red Colorway

Well it's a rare Tuesday morning post, while I should be doing some last minute studying for my exam today on the McDonaldization of the Society, I had to get some pictures out to everyone. I've been sitting on these for a few weeks now, but with this colorway being shown in the latest Slam and now going up at Finishline I thought I would post them.

Pics from www.cons.blog.sohu.com

This is by far my favorite colorway of the Wade 3 that I've seen. It releases Dec. 1 and will retail for 99.99, which is divisible by 3....ok so I am a math dork anyway. To me this shows a lot of potential for what this shoe could be. Aight well I've got to go to class so everyone else have fun.
