Converse Chuck Taylor All Star – Stencil Pack
Converse has just released the Chuck Taylor All Star ‘Stencil’ Pack, a three pack made up of two All Star Hi’s and a pair of Low’s. All three models in the Stencil Pack consist of an upper which is made to look as if the Converse logo has been spray painted onto the sneakers using a stencil. Adding to the design is an overspray effect and some paint drips made to look like somebody used just a little bit to much paint. There are two colorways to pick from so far, white/black/red and black/white/red with both of the highs available in either of the two color scheme and the lows in just the black/white/red colorway.
Head on over to Converse to pick a pair up and keep your eye open for more color schemes to release in the future.
Converse Chuck Taylor All Star ‘Layer Up’
Converse has taken their two flagship models, the Chuck Taylor All Star Hi and the Chuck Taylor All Star Low and combinded them into one sneaker. What we have here is officially known as the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star ‘Layer Up’. As you can see the upper of a pair of low top Chucks has been stitched up over the high top version with each layer having its own set of laces.
Journeys currently has a black/red combo and a pink/grey combo on sale for a price of $49.99. If your a Chuck Taylor collector and your looking for that next new pair of Chucks to add to your collection these quite possibly could be just what you need.
Converse Jack Purcell Racearound Hi
Coming this July Converse will bring back the Jack Purcell Racearound. Unlike the lineup of low to Jack Purcell Racearound’s released in 2007 and 2008 the new releases will feature a high cut design.
The Jack Purcell Racearound is a style which was originally designed by Converse in the early 1970s. The design inspiration for the silhouette was taken from the cars of the era and was developed to be a racing/driving sneaker. The Racearound models being released in July include tumbled leather uppers with suede and patent leather detailing. The sneakers will be available in oxford and high-top versions and will come in black/grey/red, black/red and white/black/red. Unfortunately at this time all we have is a shot of one of the colorups.
Retail will range between $95 – $100 and the sneakers will be available specialty retailers and online at the Converse website in July 2009. Via: Slam
Converse Chuck Taylor Skate Mid – Navy Blue
The Converse skateboarding line has been growing pretty nicely with releases such as the Converse Co* (CoStar) Attache, Converse Weapon Skate and the Converse Optium. The latest to be introduced into the range of skateboarding sneakers is this Converse Chuck Taylor Skate Mid which is obviously a revamped version of the classic Chuck Taylors. This version yields a navy blue waxed canvas upper accented with a white mid-sole, a white Converse logo on the ankle, and a white tongue tag. Placed over the canvas toe on the Chuck Taylor Skate Mid is a navy blue toe cap giving you the added protection you need when skating.

UnRivaled x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star
Japanese brand UnRivaled have teamed up with Converse to designed a pair of Chuck Taylor All Star’s which incorporates the use of red beads which is something UnRivaled has used a few recent products. The Chuck Taylor uses a black canvas base with red beads along the ankle and down the heel. A large UnRivaled leather tag is included on the side of the upper to stamp this official collaboration.
The UnRivaled x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star is available now exclusively at UnRivaled. Follow the jump to get a closer look.
Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Turndown
Converse Japan introduces the Chuck Taylor All Star Turndown in both low-top oxford and hi-top versions. Using the classic Chuck Taylor, which has proven time and time again is a template that can be revamped in more ways then one can count, Converse gave the sneakers a slight redesign which includes a cuff that you can roll down to reveal a contrasting color to match the rubber toe cap of each shoe. This design characteristic is something we have seen once before on a pack of Reebok shoes produced for the ladies known as the Reebok Top Down. Seeing as how it worked for Reebok among the female audience we’re sure Converse can defiantly move the Chuck Taylor All Star Turndown around the loyal Chuck fans out there.
Watch for the sneakers to hit select Converse retailers in June. Pictures of all the current colorups set to debut the Turndown are pictured after the jump.
