Some kicks are gym shoes. These shoes are gym class. Drawing inspiration from two classic sportswear articles, the Converse Star Player Sock “Sweatshirt” brings comfy styling to an old school classic. An all white midsole with navy and red stripes sets the stage for a cotton fleece upper mimicking your favorite hoody or crew. Silver eyelets, navy leather branding, and sock inspired collar finish off the latest from Converse. We’ve seen lots of variations of the Chuck Taylor, what are your thoughts on the new direction of the Star Player? Let us know in the comment section.

Yesterday we saw this model go old school, today we see it go premium as John Varvatos touches up the Converse Star Player EV. Varvatos, an often Converse collaborator, uses premium leather on this vintage inspired makeup of the famous Star Player. Two neutral based colorways are set to release later on this season, do these fit into your lineup?

Vintage basketball gets vintage inspiration on the Converse Star Player Leather Mid ‘Sock’. Old school tube sock fashion works its way from the calf to the sneaker dressing up the collar on this classic Converse. The primarily white leather sneaker features a midsole similar to the Chuck Taylor with a familiar tongue and toe box. Embroidered branding and red and blue accents pop up over the upper and stripe the sock inspired collar. CaliRoots has you covered if you’re looking to rep ABA style in the 21st century.

Following the Converse Skateboarding Lineup we showed you in mid-July, we now have learned of a special release from the line for pro skater Kenny Anderson. This Star Player was designed specifically for the aforementioned skater and possesses his name on the inner side of the tongue. As for the sneaker’s design cues, navy blue suede is offset by white contrast stitching throughout the upper. Other features include a white Converse chevron logo on the side panels, white laces and a white, vulcanized rubber sole (black piping). Now available at DQM.
