Sean Woods at Kentucky - March Misses Converse

Mississippi Valley State head coach Sean Woods knows a thing or two about Converse Basketball and Converse in March.  While playing at Kentucky he wore the Star and Chevron as you can see below.  Maybe we can get him to switch back to Converse for next season.

March Misses Converse - Charles Barkley at Auburn

I started the Converse Blog back in 2007 to try and drum up support for Converse to return to the NCAA.  Despite a flirting with WKU and a few years with Marquette, Nike has refused to grow Converse basketball.  I can't put it any other way, March Misses Converse, and Converse fans miss seeing the Star and Chevron on the court.  

Save Converse Basketball!!!!


So here are some backgrounds for all of you Converse fans, give them a click and you can get that background size.

Converse Offense

I've been wearing Converse glasses since I had to get them in high school.  However, they also make shades as well and here is a look at a new offering called the Converse Offense.  Check them out at Zappos.com for $69.00.

Converse Pro Leather EVO OX

For three years now Converse has left their fans wanting more.  It started with the Weapon EVO Ox, then the Star Player EVO ox, and now the Pro Leather EVO ox.  Shoes that NBA players have worn and Converse has promoted in their sales catalogs, at Converse Open Gym events...heck even these beauties were featured in NBA 2k12. 
 
Yet the scheduled release date has come and gone with no sign of the shoes worn by JJ Barea, Maurice Evans, and Carlos Arroyo.  I hope I am not blowing anyone's mind when I say this, but we can't buy shoes you won't even attempt to sell us.  Hopefully they've been pushed back for a later release, but I am not counting on it. 

However, they did surprise me with the release of the Auckland Racer Remix, so who knows. 

As for these pictures, I got them from Converse Philippines' facebook page under their new releases of the week.  So now I am officially jealous of Converse fans living in the Philippines.

Converse Auckland Racer Remix plus a Challenge

Today boys and girls I give you a challenge.  Help me wake this sleeping giant and buy the shoes Nike probably doesn't want to you buy.  Okay, so that might be a little dramatic...However, I feel like the main reason Converse isn't as successful as an athletic performance shoe company is because Nike doesn't want to them to be. 

I understand growing as a fashion/lifestyle brand is important, but you can have both.  Timberland is a perfect example of a company that hits on the both the fashion and performance side.  It can be done.

Which brings me to the Converse Auckland Racer Remix, a performance leaning update to the classic Auckland Racer.  It was my understanding that this shoe had been canceled as an American release, so I was shocked when they showed up on Converse.com



So here's my challenge, buy this shoe and show Converse and Nike we want performance shoes from Converse.  Show them that we want to wear Converse while playing something other than a guitar. At only $65 pick up a few pairs and put them away for the summer, or surprise a friend or loved one with the gift of Converse.  Pick up your pair today!!!!
  

Also for the Ladies they have a new Nylon Trainer 75 remix, I'll get those pictures up for you too.
