Converse World Basketball Festival T-Shirt

Converse shows love to New York with their take on the classic I Heart NYC T-shirts.  They feature the star and chevron logo which is very exciting.  Below you'll see the colors they come in, the last one is Orange for you colorblind people out there.  Converse.com has them in sizes S to XL, but if you go over to Eastbay.com they  have them in 2XL.

Converse One Star Running introduce new Converse Sense Technology.

 Converse has finally returned to the performance running category, albeit it's through their One Star brand exclusively sold at Target and Amazon.  Below are the two men colorways in white/navy/yellow and the black/white/silver.  There is also a womens colorway in sliver/blue.

Also in the shoe is Converse's new cushioning technology named "Converse Sense."  I don't know much about it other then it appears to be a foam based system.  I hope to  have more information soon.

Here is the Women's colorway

I'm obviously very excited, this is the first time Converse has offered a performance running shoe since...well around 2000 when they had one Helium running shoe release.  I hope this is a sign of things to coming from the Star and Chevron side of Converse.  Anyway, follow along for more updates on twitter @TheConverseBlog

DeMarcus "Boogie" Cousins rocking some Chuck Taylors.

I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but DeMarcus Cousins showed up at John Calipari's Pro Camp wearing some Chucks.  This by it no means he's signed with Converse, but it is interesting to note.  I've never seen DeMarcus wear anything outside of Nike and Jordan. Lets just say that I've got my fingers crossed

Converse John Varvatos Pro Leather OX

 The new JV Pro Leather ox is a follow up to the previous JV Pro Leather's the released earlier this year.  This time they come on a Ox version featuring a milk/navy colorway.  The premium version of the Pro Leather can be found over at Zappos for $150.  Check out the pictures below.

These are a little different then the classics that Dr. J wore back in the day.  Double post today because I've been in training all week for my new job as a home hospital teacher.  The next post is promised to have a little more boogie in it.

Friday Flashback: Converse X Seattle Supersonics duffel bag

Hello world, welcome to the first Friday Flashback in what seems like forever.  Below you'll see a pretty amazing duffel bag which features the Seattle Supersonics (remember them?) and the rare Converse word mark with the star and chevron.  I'm sure a pair of white/green pro leathers would fit in there just right.
