John Varvatos Converse "Crazy Laces" by Josh Rubin
For their first collaboration John Varvatos and Converse brought you the slip-on Chuck—summer's perfect shoe. Now it's slightly Goth fall brother has dropped and is quite a sight. As seen in the pic above provided so kindly by UNDFTD, there are 19 eyelets on either side of the shoe but the black canvas, eyelets and laces balance chaos with simplicity. And those laces are elastic which means you can still just slip em on.
Varvatos has also teamed up with Converse to create a full clothing line. The Fall 2006 look book is here.

Converse x Original Jams: Skidgrip Mid-Shoe

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...
