Converse x Nigel Cabourn Chuck Taylor 1970 Hi “Ventile”

Today we get a first look at the next collaboration between Converse and heritage brand Nigel Cabourn. After previously having done the Chuck Taylor All Star Bosey and the Plimsole, Nigel Cabourn worked on the Chuck Taylor 1970 this time. Giving it a white upper and red details and branding, the look is clean and perfect for the summer months that lie ahead. The designer used Ventile fabric for the upper, making the shoes weatherproof, which is a subtle, yet exciting feature on these. The sneakers will release at select retailers on March 21.

Union x Converse First String 1970s Chuck Taylor All Star Collection

Posted on November 26, 2013 | Leave a comment

union-converse-1970s-chuck-taylor-all-star-collection-1For the first time ever, California retailer Union teams with the iconic Converse brand to release a two-part collection of First String 1970s Chuck Taylor All Stars. Each drop is constructed with a premium felted wool exterior and lined with soft sheep’s leather to turn an otherwise summery sneaker into a fully winterized piece of footwear. While the white version features emerald stitching and a neon yellow outsole, the blue pair goes tonal with its stitch detail to match a vibrantly red outsole. Both models will also come with an alternate set of laces to match its outsole color. The Union x Converse 1970s Chuck Taylor All Star Collection is currently available in-store at the retailer’s Los Angeles location

John Varvatos x Converse Spring Summer 2012

Posted on January 23, 2012 | Leave a comment

I always like John Varvatos’s Converse because they look like Converse should look..BATTERED! So for me Distressing is a good thing, Chuck Taylor All Star, Pro Leather, Star Player and Sprint Grip sneakers have been given a worn out treatment on the soles and uppers that give the collection a cool edge for Spring Summer 2012. These are the two stand outs for me. They should be dropping in the next couple of weeks.
