Converse Chuck Taylor AS OX

Converse Chuck Taylor AS OXWhen a product is selling for a charitable cause, it’s often the only reason it’s selling. Somehow Converse has been able to avoid that trend with its Product(Red) releases though, as they’ve put out some pretty nice designs out. They even had success pairing with heavyweight HUF on the Skidgrip. This next design, a Chuck Taylor AS OX, is also beneficial to charity and is a nice design for a classic silhouette.

These feature an all grey suede upper with a matching vulcanized sole. The real design feature to make note of is the leopard print inside. Like all of the Product(Red) releases we see, the top eyelet is red, denoting its charitable nature. These are available online now.

Converse Chuck Taylor

Converse continues its ongoing 1HUND(RED) campaign by now hooking up with designer Terence Koh for a very unique collaboration.

It’s obvious that both sides wanted to keep this design very simple to say the least. “I wanted to keep the DNA of the Chuck Taylor intact, while reducing the seams, and smoothing out the shoe’s surface as much as possible,” said Koh.

This Chuck Taylor possesses some very unique features including a seamless upper and a vertical construction which gives the sneaker a square-like shape at the collar area. Its all-white leather base is accompanied by matching premium leather shoelaces. Look for this sneaker to release on November 21st, 2009 at select retailers, namely Opening Ceremony New York and LA for $150. Click here to view detailed photos.

Converse Coolidge Hi Drizzle/Black/Mint

Converse Coolidge Hi Drizzle/Black/Mint

Converse’s skateboarding line has been putting out some very solid colorways and models as of late. We last saw the Coolidge in Mid form, which we tend to see more releases of. But with all the high top madness we’ve seen in the sneaker world lately, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Converse is moving forward with the Coolidge Hi.

These feature a grey fish-scale print throughout the mid-panel and toe, while black suede is used on the heel and ankle areas. Mesh is also employed on the ankle and tongue. Breaking up the greyscale look are mint-colored laces. The toe box in reinforced with an extra later of textile material and double stitching for those who will skate these.

Converse continues its ongoing 1HUND(RED) campaign by now hooking up with United Bamboo for a very unique collaboration. Which 1HUND(RED) collaborative design has captured your eye the most so far?

The timeless Chuck Taylor has been seen in numerous designs with the most recent being the Chuck Taylor Hi Strap we showed you yesterday. With that said, both sides joined efforts on this all-white pair of Chuck Taylor. However, this is far from a traditional, all-white shoe. It features a peculiar embroidered design on the base combined with a suede toe cap. Its most contrasting attribute appears in the form of the United Bamboo logo stripe.
