Converse Spring 2011 Premium Leather




Converse will be releasing a series of new Chuck Taylor All Star Premiums as part of their Spring 2011 Collection.

“These styles exude pure vintage Americana with a burnished leather upper, wax laces, washed canvas flag lining and split leather sockliner that gives it that perfect antique look. The collection also includes a linen version that features a buttery Vachetta leather patch above the sole for added distinction.”

The leathers and materials used are beautiful and give this classic silhouette a fantastic upgrade.

Back with another thoughtful collection Sneakermuseumoakland says Converse is really trying to become my favorite brand! Job well done.

Another thing we absolutely love here at S.M.O. are books and other literature dedicated to sneakers, so the good folks over at Nike SB decided to chronicle Nike Sb releases from the past 26 years. We are psyched! Peep the packaging of the book SB soles
Brilliant! No release date given yet.

One of the highlights of the Bright Tradeshow in Berlin was a retrospective of the Nike Dunk SB. Chronicling standout releases from 2002-2011, the setup showcased many of our favorite SB sneakers alongside various ephemera that inspired the designs – even the original (cut-up) eBay Dunk was on display, one of only 2 in the world. Peruse our gallery and reminisce.







Well executed.
