It Came From Brazil - Converse CT AS Vintage

From time to time I like to highlight what Converse is releasing in other Countries, often times Converse Brazil is bring to most interesting stuff.  Lets take a look at their Converse CT AS Vintage below.

I love the extra toe rubber as I stumbled upon a pair recently on eBay from when Converse used that design on shoes.

'S Friday Flashback: Cal Poly Pomona Bronco Volleyball Camp!

Welcome to The Converse Blog's Friday Flashback. Today's flash back is way back to 1986 and the Cal Poly Pomona Bronco Volleyball Camp.  Vintage t-shirt, yep.  Converse sponsored sports camp, oh yeah.  Volleyball?  Okay so even I didn't know Converse had ever had anything to do with Volleyball.   However, it does make sense, Converse used to make shoes for every other sport, so why not.  I really wish I had some shots of the shoes, but the t-shirt will have to do.

Well that's it for today, thank you very much for checking out the original Converse Blog here at TheConverseBlog.NET.  Also don't forget to follow along on twitter @theConverseBlog

'S Friday Flashback: Converse All Star Training Shoes.

Hi all, welcome to The Converse Blog's Friday Flashback.  Today we're going after the All Star training shoe.  This is a classic training shoe in a very nice suede Navy/White colorway.

 

  

  

 

I really wish I had a picture of the out sole but alas I do not.  However, this shoe was re-issued a few years ago, so you might be able to find a pair floating around out there.  Thanks for checking out the blog, have a great weekend!

The Converse Blog's Friday Flashback: Welcome to 2009.

Happy Belated 2009, I completely forgot to mention that on Wednesday. Hopefully you're all enjoying a fresh start for this new year. It seems fitting that the first post of the new year would be a Friday Flashback. What a great way to break into the second Converse Century. These is a classic Converse ox shoe, but I can't remember the name, but I have seen it in some classic advertisements before.

I can't read what it says on the inside of the shoe, but this maybe a release from another country. I would say these came from Japan or China, either way they're still on older shoe.

Well that's it for today, thanks for checking out the Converse Blog!
