Friday Flashback; Converse Magic Johnson Energy Wave shoes.

Back in the day Converse created a Magic Johnson sub-brand that had shoes and apparel.  Each item used the Magic logos you see on the tongue and the side of shoe.  Below is a Black/Pink colorway of one of the shoes.  I am not quite sure which shoe this was, this is the only colorway I've seen of it.

 The shoes featured the Converse energy wave technology that they used across their performance lines.

First Look: Converse All American Mid

Welcome to the Converse Blog where today we have our first look at the Converse All American Mid in a Black/White colorway.  At first glance you may confuse this for the Converse sicks that came out last year, but the upper different.  However, they do still feature that great full length Balls technology.  There were other colorways in the Fall catalog, but we'll see if they actually make them or not.

You can pick these up at Holabird Sports!


Big thanks to The Converse Blog reader Aaron Johnson who brought these to my attention.

Friday Flashback: Converse 0100 Fruity Pebbles

Welcome to the Converse Blog's Friday Flashback.  Since today is College Colors Day  I thought I'd bring you a shoe that seems to have all of them.  

Below is the Converse 0100 in a sample Fruity Pebbles edition, or perhaps melted crayons.  If you never played in the 0100 you need to try and find yourself a pair, they're one of my favorite Converse basketball shoes of recent memory.

Converse Dr. J Pro Leather Horween Leather.

Converse continues to expand their First String line with the upcoming release of two new colorways of the Dr. J Pro Leathers.  This time they get a upper curtsy of Horween Leather from Chicago.  Look for the Black/Burgundy colorway to drop on September 10th and the Burgundy/Black colorway sometime in November.  Just like the last Pro Leather release these feature the Dr. J personal touch with gold foil on the side.

I usually try to bring you all different Converse coverage then everyone else, but these are just too stinkn' nice to miss haha.  Enjoy!

Converse John Varvatos All Star Bosey Boot

It's been a minute or two since I've featured a John Varvatos Converse shoe, so I thought I'd show off these new All Star Bosey Boots.  They come on a light brown and a black colorway, of which you can see at the end of the brown pictures.  They have a nice zipper on the side for easier wear.  They also have a clean and simple star on the heel that you can see below.  You can gear up for the fall in these at Converse.com for $125.
