CONS Rune Pro Mid – Fall 2010 Colorways

Rune Glifberg will go down as one of the greatest skaters of all time and one of the few to reach the peak of both street and vert excellence. It was a quiet coup when Converse Skateboarding signed Glifberg last year, with Rune’s new sneaker sponsor largely overshadowed by Eric Koston’s move to Nike SB. Here’s the first shot back from CONS, the Rune Pro Mid, which is somewhere between the Cooldige Mid and the Weapon series. New pairs in black or white, blue and red both mix canvas and suede skillfully and you can see more shots of both after the jump.

Converse Chuck Taylor – Nike Parent Company Promo Sample

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Nike’s rise to top meant its competitors would fall to its knees, but instead, the brands still exist under Nike ownership. Now operating as subsidiaries of Nike, brands like Converse, Hurley, Starter, Bauer Hockey, and others still pump out their own products while maintaining its original identity. This promo sample pair of Converse Chuck Taylors from 2005 features all of the aforementioned brands stamped on the upper of the shoe, representing unity among the brands (although we know Nike is top dog). These samples are truly a rare piece and they’re priced quite generously considering the scarcity, so try your luck on this auction from lacedheat on eBay.

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High Spec | Available

Some of Converse’s best releases in recent memory have come in the form of the flight jacket-inspired UNDFTD collaborations. The Poorman Weapon made a name for itself with the sleek, shiny look and now it’s time for the biggest of the One Stars to get a nylon treatment. The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High Spec comes to you in black or olive green, both with white soles to add a bright spot. Check out detailed images of both pairs of these flight jacket Chucks after the jump and grab yours today from the Six Feet Under store at Caliroots.

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Cup Sole – Fall 2010

Ronnie Fieg recently showed off a duo of Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Highs that looked amazing in grey and black leather with white soles. The spirit of those axed sample pairs is resurrected for this new pack of Converse Chuck Taylor Cup Sole hightops on tap for Fall 2010. Both grey and black pairs are done in rich leather, but forgo the embossed insignias found on Feig’s joints for a more traditional sewn on medial logo. The biggest change, though, would be the all-white cupsoles that should make these an even smoother ride than your average Chucks.

What do you do when a fellow blogger posts photos like these and asks for her readers to submit their version?? 

Well, this is what I did...

You like the Nomadic Baglady Look?? Hahaha!!

I love her pillow and the teapot around her belt just puts me over the pee in my pants edge.

Now if any of you are brave enough I'd LOVE to see your looks. Don't be shy, this was so much fun to put together and it's nice to make fun of yourself sometimes.

Thank you Sister Wolf for making me laugh and for reminding us that we bloggers can't take this crap too seriously.

Asics Gel Lyte III Herbst 2010

Immer wieder wird mir bewußt, dass mir ein Asics Gel Lyte III in meiner Sammlung fehlt. Denn die drei neuen Modelle, die nun auf den Markt kommen, überzeugen durch vielfältige Farb- und Materialmixe, wie z.B. Glatt- und Lackleder, Mesh sowie die Farben schwarz mit violett, blau/grau und rot und gelb.

Adidas Originals x Jeremy Scott - JS Wings 3M

Der mittlerweile schon länger beständige JS Wings, aus der Jeremy Scott ObyO Kollektion von Adidas, kommt nun in einem neuen Material wieder. Der aktuelle Schuh ist komplett aus 3M Material hergestellt. Das Material hat den Vorzug, dass es bei Lichteinfall extrem reflektiert. Dementsprechend ist der Schuh perfekt zum Radfahren im Dunkeln. Der Schuh ist z.B. im Adidas Shop erhältlich.

Adidas Star Wars "Empire Athletics/Rebel Athletics" Packs

Nachdem Adidas Originals mit der Star Wars Kollektion fast nur Kracher veröffentlicht hat, kommt nun ein komplettes Pack, was fast ausnahmslos in den Müll gehört. Denn mit dem "Empire Athletics/Rebel Athletics" Pack hat sich die Zusammenarbeit von Adidas und dem Designer Clot eher zum negativen ausgewirkt... finde ich! Wen die Schuhe dennoch interessieren kann sie derzeit im Adidas Online Shop bestellen.
