Converse Chuck Taylor All Star ‘Croc Skin’
A ton of releases in the past have included the use of a croc pattern but how many actually went as far as using actual crocodile skin? In a release exclusive to Fresh retailers Converse puts together a low top Chuck Taylor All Star using real croc skin on the upper. Adding to the use of real crocodile skin, which is exotic enough in its own sense, Converse covered the material in a colorful gradient design and laid down some red contrast stitching. When the sneakers hit retailers this month in France their expect price will be around $260 USD.

Converse All Star Hi Double Upper
Taking the Converse All Star Hi and giving it a new twist Converse introduces the Double Upper All Star. Instead of a design with a single upper construction Converse has added a second upper on top of the base. This gives you the option of a few different ways to lace the sneakers, using either one of the uppers or running the laces through both. To debut the Double Upper All Star Hi Collection Converse has put together a selection of over 10 releases which gives you a good choice of colorways to pick up.
Follow the jump to check out a few of the other colorways of the Converse All Star Hi Double Upper and hit up Underground Station now to buy a pair.
Converse Expo Nippon Collection – Okinawa
The Expo Nippon line from Converse Japan continues with Converse Skidgrip and a pair of Chuck Taylors. If your not familiar with the Expo Nippon lineup from Converse its a tribute to Japanese artisan culture, with the sneakers shown here inspired by the island of Okinawa. The Skidgrip and the Chucks display a multi-color gradient design on upper in colors such as red, blue, orange, green, purple and pink, with one side of the upper using a handful of the colors and the other side using the rest of the colors. This gives each side of the upper a different color design.
Get both of them now at select retailers in Japan such as Flauge.
Converse Chuck Taylor ‘Pink Floyd’
Converse has released another pair of Chuck Taylors as part of their Pink Floyd Music Collection. In the past we saw designs based after the ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ and ‘Wish You Were Here’ album covers by Pink Floyd. This time Converse put together a pair of Chucks which has a totally different twist to it and has a design which im sure every Pink Floyd fan may be familiar with, specially if you have ever been to a concert.
The upper of the Chuck Taylor has a black and white ‘cloudy’ design with Pink Floyd slightly visible in the clouds. Seen floating within the clouds in the red/pinkish pig, which is something you have probably seen before at a Pink Floyd concert, that is if you ever been to one. The groups name is also printed down the heel of the sneakers as well.
Pink Floyd has put together (i think) 25 albums total, so Converse defiantly has a lot they could work with here. Im sure if the series sells well among the fans and collectors this could turn into a rather big collection.
Get em now at select Converse retailers including Overkill.
Converse Weapon Evo
Earlier this year Converse introduced the Weapon Evo, a revamped version of the Converse Weapon. Lately we have seen professional athletes such as Kirk Hinrich of the Chicago Bulls rocking the Weapon Evo in black/red.
Here we have some detailed pictures of the Converse Weapon Evo in two color schemes. One of the colorups, which is shown above, is done in white and maroon while the other (which is pictured after the jump) is white and orange. Both have a visible air unit at the heel and use patent leather for part of the construction of the upper. The Converse logo on the side also appears to be finished in some sort of mesh like material.
At this time we have no available release date information so keep it locked for further details.
Converse Weapon Rivalry Pack – Celtics vs. Lakers
During the 1980s the rivalry between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers was one of the biggest in history, and the inspiration behind this Converse Weapon Rivalry Pack. Magic Johnson from the Lakers and Larry Johnson from the Celtics both were endorsed by Coverse during their playing days and both wore the Coverse Weapon during the mid 80s.
To honor the rivalry between the Celtics and the Lakers, Bird and Johnson, Converse put together the Converse Weapon Rivalry Pack which includes a colorway of the Converse Weapon in the Celtics colors and the Lakers colors. The Boston Celtics colorway was laid out on a high-top version of the Converse Weapon while the Lakers black/purple/gold colorway lands itself on a low top version. Both have tongue tags which say ‘Weapresent’ which is also printed on the inner lining.
The Celtics vs Lakers Converse Weapon Rivalry Pack is limited to a total of 250 pairs worldwide and only available at select retailers such as Solebox.
