Converse Weapon Skate Ox Low
A few days ago we announced that Converse was putting together a line of new skate shoes under the CoStar label when we showed you the Converse ‘Optium’ Skate Shoes. Another model which got the skateboarding treatment is the Converse Weapon Low. Converse put together three colorways of the Converse Weapon Skate OX Low, giving you a choice of either black, white or brown each of which retail between $64-$69 dollars. If you head over to Eastbay now you can pre-order either of the three colorways which will be shipped on March 20th 2009.
Follow the jump to check out more detailed pictures of the black colorway and a quick look at the other two colorups.
Converse Music Collection – Pink Floyd Pack
The Converse Music Collection continues this Spring after much success with the AC/DC, Metallica, and The Who models which have already been released. To continue along with the collection Converse designed a two Chuck Taylors and a Jack Purcell inspired by the legenedary group Pink Floyd.
Besides for their music Pink Floyd is very well known for their album artwork which has been seen on all sorts of appearal and collectibles over the years. With that being said Converse designed all three of the sneakers to have themes which related to two of the Pink Floyd album covers. On one of the Converse Chuck Taylor models, and Jack Purcell model, Converse used a design on the upper inspired by the “Dark Side Of The Moon” album cover. The other Chuck Taylor carries the artwork from the back of the “Wish You Were Here” album.
All three of these Pink Floyd inspired Converse sneakers should be hitting select retailers near you now, if not you can always swing over to the Converse website to grab a pair.
Converse ‘Optium’ Skate Shoes
In May 2009 Converse will be releasing a new line of skate shoes which will fall under the CoStar label. There will be a few different silhouettes releasing under the CoStar label throughout the year but the one we are featuring today is the Converse Optium. The low cut sneakers use simple color blocking on the upper combined with a thick vulcanized rubber sole like any good skate shoe has. CoStar branding is included on the tongue as well as on the heel with a rubber stamp. The insoles have a tag line from the CoStar label which reads “Steal The Show” with the CoStar logo beside it.
The white/black/blue and black/white/red colorways you see above, and which are pictured after the jump, will both be exclusive to FootLocker retailers.

Converse All Star Owari-Shippo High – Glow in the Dark
Talk about some glow in the dark sneakers. Available now at Undefeated Tokyo are these Converse All Star Owari-Shippo High sneakers which i think may glow brighter then any other GITD release. During the day the sneakers appear to have a white upper highlighted with pink, blue and yellow but when the sun goes down (or you walk into a pitch black room) that whole white upper glows neon green. Judging by the pictures were talking Glow Stick glow. Yea, that bright.

Converse Chuck Taylor made from Legos
For many years people young and old have been creating all sorts of designs out of the world famous Legos. There have have many cool concepts over the years, including villages made out of legos and semi-functional firearms. Recently posted by G-Roc over on TSG were these Converse Chuck Taylors made out of Legos. I always enjoy seeing people putting their minds to work like this and creating something to show their passion for a specific interest or item.
Props goes out from Sneaker Obsession to whoever designed these Lego Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers.
