The Converse Blog's Friday Flashback: Converse Halftime

Welcome to the Converse Blog's Friday flashback. I was going to post a picture of one of the Converse Psycho trainers. However, when I was looking for more information on the shoe I found out that I was wrong. While there are some features that reminded me of a psycho trainer shoe, it turns out these are actually basketball shoes. Well at least according to the website that I found the second picture.

I can't help but think of shark fins when I look at these. I know hardly anything about them except they're named the Converse Halftime. Also it would appear from the Logo and overall design that these gems were released in the mid 90's.

If you know anything more about these shoes please contact me and let me know. Well enjoy the bowl season. I'll be out of town for the Music City Bowl for Monday's post, so I might try to post before I leave. Thanks for stopping by and keep returning for the Converse Blog.

The Converse Blog: Converse Japan is the first to show up for the 100th Birthday Party.

Here is the deal, I am never rooting for Tennessee again, at least not anytime soon. Anyway, we're playing Florida St. back in Nashville for the Music City Bowl and it's going to be a blast. Speaking of a blast, the celebration for the Converse Century is starting to gear up. In recent Converse ads at the bottom of the logo "1908" is placed. However, Converse Japan now has two websites up to honor the 100th year. http://converse100th.jp/ and http://thankyou.converse.co.jp/.

The Thank You website is the newest and the most English reading friendly. There you will find product details, archive pictures (yes!) soon, wallpapers, and many other features. Today I want to highlight two the of the products on the page. Both have base models that came out in 1922. The first is the B-9

The next shoe is named, yep you guessed it the B-10. I don't know what these were designed for, but I'd sure like the have a pair myself. Anyway, here are the pics of the B-10.

That's it for today folks, I am about to go and write the last paper as an undergraduate at UK. Thanks for checking out the site, and I'll see you Wednesday.
