OFFICIAL CONVERSE THREAD

[trethousandgt]

Didn't see any official thread yet for Converse, figured it was long overdue.  Here we can share any and everything Converse.  
Latest Converse x Nigo Addict Series  



Would love to see an accurate re-retro of these

I would love to see the Larry Johnson stuff drop again. Maybe even some grandmama tee's to go along. 
They should of retroed the Rodman kicks when he went into the HOF

Would actually LOOOOVE to see these retro, but it'll probably never happen.

^^^^ those aero glides are beautiful, would be interested to see this shoe make a return


BTW if anyone knows where I can find these still please let me know, last time I saw them was the very early 2000's.  Here's a pic of me with them from 1994

Figured I would share these as well, nothing crazy but the original designer of the Magic Johnson Signature Shoe sent them to me, enjoy

Yeah you are better off playing bare footed...Chucks are not basketball shoes...they were just the only option for players back in the hay days.

Funny thing is my friend came up to the gym wearing chucks. I was like your ankles are gonna be done. He said these are better then jordans and Nike ect. He said they are more free moving and easy on your toes. I looked at him like he was crazy but he didn't show any signs of uncomfort or pain. I'm not trying however because I know I'll roll my ankle.

Agreed, would be sick.......

 

[wildershoe]

Can anyone get me some skus for the undftd x converse shoes????

 

[rp450]

A retro of the magics would be great for sure but looking at a few old bookmarks on my web browser I think Converse had good things coming up in their 2009-2010 line-up. Too bad they gave up on the SICKS, WEAPON EVO and DROP SHOT. These had a great design with a classic feel mixed in while offering a good performance (according to reviews). I regret having slept on those !

anyone know offhand if the auckland racer is tts?
