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: Road Trip

Hi all, just wanted to stop by and let you know that I won't be posting this week, at least Monday or Wednesday. I am going on a road trip with some of my friends. We don't know where we're going or when we're going to get there and I can't wait. I just wish we'd find our way to a Converse store. Regardless take this break and think about some stories you might have involving you and your Cons. Email them and I'll post some up.

The Converse Blog: Pro Team New Orleans

NBA All Star weekend, from what I hear is crazy. There are also limited edition kicks released from pretty much every company. My first knowledge of limited edition Converse at All Star weekend was in 2001. That year there was a big party in which Converse announced the signing of Andre Miller and Wally Szczerbiak and Dr. J as an ambassador of the brand. I still remember Wally wearing the Converse Team Madness with Helium during the MTV game and then the All Star game. Only problem was, he never wore Converse again. I've always really be confused by that, so if anyone knows what happened please email me, thank you. Anyway, there was a limit edition Weapon released in a Red/White/Blue colorway.


This year there was a limited edition of the Converse Pro Team. I was fortunate enough to get some pictures below. Big thanks to Matthew Katz for that last two of pics below. I've got a pair of these on the way, so I hope to have more pics posted soon. I just couldn't sleep on these anymore. Enjoy!

The Converse Blog: First Look at the Converse Wolf

I've sat on these pictures for a few weeks now. They came from an auction on TaoBao. These retro running shoes will be coming out this fall. According to the catalog they will come in three colorways Olive/Lemon Curry, Fossil/Major Brown, and as pictured below Beluga/Petit Four. They sure don't make color names like they used to. Either way, I've seen all three in the catalog and they're all amazing. I am really geeked about these shoes. I am still wearing my grey suede Phaeton IV that I snagged at Finishline. Still looking for more pairs on eBay, but I haven't had luck.

Well I hope you enjoyed the first look at the Converse Wolf. Look for them in June of this year. Also I want to remind you all of the poll. There are only a few days left to vote, and it looks like the real race is for second place. Brandon Roy has closed the gap on Chris Bosh. I am not wanting to influence the vote, but I just found that interesting. Thank you all for coming to the Converse Blog and enjoy your Monday!
