Custom Slip-on Chucks by Josh Rubin
Leveraging the powerful web based customization engine and manufacturing process created by their parent company Nike, Converse has just added a couple new styles to their Converse One custom shoe program. Exciting for some are the Chuck Taylors Hi Tops in youth sizes, but exciting to me are the Chuck Taylor Slip Canvas Shoes. A favorite since their launch last Summer, the Slips can now be customized in a huge range of colors and patterns. My skullified creation, after the jump.

Vintage Leather Jacket Chucks
Converse's latest drop to celebrate their 100th is a lesson in how to make a good thing better. Made out of vintage leather jackets, the leather has that greasy worn-in feel and plenty of unique details. We also like the patchwork construction and the incorporation of the black anodized zipper as a design element along the tongue. Waxed cotton laces complete the look, as...
