Converse All Star Ct Sabbath High

Parra x Converse Chuck Taylor All S

Parra is all over the place for this second half of 2009.  The Dutch illustrator lent his signature style to a pack of Vans that’s available now and his upcoming collaboration on the Nike Air Maxim 1 is breathtaking.  Now comes word that dude designed a third iconic sneaker, and you have about zero chance of copping these.  To celebrate a BBQ event they threw in the Mitte section of Berlin today, Converse commissioned Parra to scrawl a sketch on the Chuck Taylor All Star.  Ever irreverent, Parra made these ‘the wurst’ Chucks ever by writing ‘Simply the Wurst’ in red atop a blue sausage on the outer side panels.  There are only 100 pairs of these and they all went to friends and family attending the party, so click the jump and salivate over these super-limited kicks.  via HBRead the rest of Parra x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High - ‘Simply the Wurst’© Sneaker News, 2009. |Permalink |No comment |Add todel.icio.us close

The Parra x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High ‘Simply the Wurst’ sneaker is Converse’s way of celebrating a BBQ event they recently threw in Berlin.The Parra x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High ‘Simply the Wurst’ sneakers is also a play on the phrase â€Å"simply the worstâ€Â� but since it commemorates an event in Berlin then it is best said in the â€Å"Simply the Wurstâ€Â�.The sneaker has a white upper which looks like it was made of material that’s used for bagging flour. On the outer sides of the sneakers is an image of a blue sausage with the words â€Å"Simply the Wurst’ in red. You will only find the blue sausage on the inside part sans the intriguing phrase.Only 100 Parra x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High ‘Simply the Wurst’ sneakers have been created and sad to say all of them were given to family and friends who attended the Berlin party. close

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High

A hundred and one years in, Converse has at least a thousand and one designs.  Here are two new packs that update the classic Chuck Taylor All Star High and Jack Purcell Low.  First up is a black leather pack of one each.  The Chucks are smooth leather while JP goes with a loose tumbled leather.  The Chucks go a step further and add a black toe cap, a feature we see repeated on the Woolrich for Converse pack of Chucks.  They’re done in either red or blue and black plaid, both with brass eyelets.  Cop all four of these today from Huf.Read the rest of Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High + Woolrich Pack + Jack Purcell Low© Sneaker News, 2009. |Permalink |No comment |Add todel.icio.us close

Lupe Fiasco x Converse Chuck Taylor

The first time we got a glimpse at Lupe Fiasco’s entry for the Converse 1Hund(RED) Collection, it was essntially the opposite of what we seee above.  That earlier model in black patent leather may or may not still be on the way, but the white canvas joints above are a sure thing.  The 80th entrant into this joint effort to fight AIDS in Africa, the Fiasco-designed Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High has what looks to be old newsprint screened onto the uppers.  It makes for an interesting contrast to the handwritten message on the midsole.  If you’re feeling the use of typefaces as colour/texture, grab yours from the Converse online store.  via FRESHNESSRead the rest of Lupe Fiasco x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High – 1Hund(Red) Collection Entry #80© Sneaker News, 2009. |Permalink |One comment |Add todel.icio.us close
