SSUR x Converse Pro Leather 76 Hi

Posted on July 24, 2010 by Albert Lin

Russian artist, SSUR, has teamed up Converse this Summer to produce one of the most simple and clean pairs of Pro Leather 76 Hi’s that we have seen in recent time. Over a month ago, initial photos of the SSUR x Converse Pro Leather 76 Hi surfaced and reactions were positive. The pair features an all black premium suede upper, crackled leather lace eyelets, laces, midsole, and outsole. Gold accents, used on the tongue, heel tab, and lace locks, add a nice touch to this collaboration. This pair is now available at Havenshop.

Bedwin x Converse Jack Purcell “Mike”

Converse Jack Purcell

The Converse Jack Purcell model has been a part of some interesting collaborations this year such as the X-Girl and the SAK. We now have learned of another collaborative effort that incorporates the Jack Purcell. Converse recently hooked up with Japanese brand Bedwin & The Heartbreakers to create a special Jack Purcell dubbed the “Mike”. It simply features a primarily black leather upper combined with a white rubber toe cap and a white, vulcanized sole. Its distinctive attributes come in the form of the silver star located just above the top laceholders and the Bedwin & The Heartbreakers logo on the tongue. Look for this joint effort to release soon.

Nom de Guerre x Converse Skidgrip First String

For the next model in the ever-growing First String line, Converse asked Nom de Guerre to collaborate on a Skidgrip low. The upper is matte black while metal eyelets, a tan liner and ribbed sole provide contrast. This silhouette is one we’ve seen a number of times, but the texture on the sole adds a nice bit of flavor to this simple design. Check for these at select First String retailers on July 30th.
