Converse All Star ‘Canada Day’ Customs
Judging by the stats of the site there seems to be a good amount of viewers who reside in Canada so i have something here specially for you guys and girls. July 1st marked the 141st Birthday of Canada and in honor of the celebrations Sole Brother knocked out some custom Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars with a nice Canadian theme. The design includes a big red Maple Leaf across the side with thin red stripes coming off the edges that slowly start to fade to white as they go on. On the heel tab it says SoleBrother.com to let all bystanders whos necks you snap know exactly where they came from. The sneakers are simple in design but will make a big impact adorning the feet of any proud Canadian im sure. Props to Sole Brother as always for a quality job.

Chuck Taylor “Banana Camo” Customs
I dont think ive featured a pair of custom Chuck Taylors on the site in a long time so its about time to do so. Sweatshop Clothing stopped by the forum to show these off to us, which he designed to match the Banana Camo New Era hat. Sweatshop took the Camo Chuck Taylors and simply added the same exact Banana designs found scattered around the New Era hat and then did up the tongue of the sneakers to carry the Sweatshop logo in yellow. The logo was also added to the underbrim on the hat to finish the complete fit. This is a pretty hot combo when you match up the sneakers and the hat together. Check out a few more alternate angles after the jump and hit up Sweatshop Clothing with all your comments about them in the forum here.
Punk Your Chucks – Custom Chuck Taylors and More
Punk Your Chucks is the creation of ‘AKA MAG’ who is an urban/graffiti artist originally from New York City. AKA MAG started Punk Your Chucks due to his love for art and quality hand painted custom sneakers and clothing. Since the company was started he has since worked with many celebrities to design custom sneakers personally for them, celebrities such as Will Smith, Tommy Lee, Kelly Clarkson, Brad Gethard (BMX Rider) and many more. Custom sneakers arent just his bag though. AKA MAG also does clothing, bags for the ladies, jackets, keychains, vinyl toys and pretty much anything you need really. Chucks arent the only sneakers you can get customized either, he also does Vans and AF1’s.

Undefeated ‘No Raw Dogs’ Chuck Taylor
As part of the Product Red campaign from Converse, they teamed up with Undefeated to put together a limited run Chuck Taylor, as well as a few other products to go along with the series. Undefeated reached out to artist/designer Geoff McFetridge to bring something unique to the table, something that would dare to be different. The idea on these sure is different, with the design of a sweaty foot being displayed on both sneakers. The tongue of the right sneakers has the same foot design this time displayed in a circle with a line going through the middle and the words “No Raw Dogs”. The left sneaker on the other hand features a lil character on the tongue with a quote above him saying “Wear A Sock Kid!”. The design covering the tongue of each sneaker is also carried over to the insoles as well. Also take note of the rubberized Undefeated logo on the inside sole of the sneakers, the other side has a stamp that says “Wear A Sock Kid.” These sneakers, as well as t-shirts and Bearbricks are all available now at Undefeated.
Converse 100 Year Anniversary
Who can deny that Converse is one of the originators. Still a popular company among many original sneakerheads Converse was once what Nike Dunks and Jordans are today. It was all about the Chucks back in the day. To celebrate 100 years running strong and to thank all the support from the customers Converse is running a 100th Anniversary campaign. Between December 2007 and March 2008 they will drop 100 sneakers for all those Converse lovers. Some of these sneakers will be new designs and some will resemble past Converse sneakers which were once the talk of the town. A few of the December releases shown here are abunch of Retros which have been released in the past by Converse, at some point between 1922-1999. Hit up your local Converse retailer or check out the Converse website for more information and watch for this to hit the spot from now until March.
