If you weren’t already aware, Converse has their own custom process available that sort of serves as their answer to NIKE iD. The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star is of course available, as such a process would certainly be incomplete without that absolute staple of brand. What’s more, the sneaker now has a handful of graphic prints that can be applied, including four options they’re calling space, animal, music, and stars. Take a look at each, try to remain calm at the thought of owning a “Galaxy” Converse Chuck Taylor All Star, and then head to their site to make your own.

Long before the Nike and the Air Jordan, Michael was making legendary plays in the Converse Pro Leather – particularly in 1982 when he lifted the Tar Heels to an NCAA Title above the Georgetown Hoyas. Last year, Jordan Brand and Converse teamed up to create a limited edition release of the Converse Pro Leather to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of that shot, but it looks like Converse along is putting out some familiar colorways in case you don’t have the thousands to drop on those rare pairs. The Converse Pro Leather EV returns in both Hi and Lo form in a crisp white upper and Carolina blue and gold detailing, and even though there is no official UNC designation to these releases, Tar Heel pride is all that these exude. Check out the detailed gallery below and cop them directly from Converse as the High and Low are both available.

Converse hits us with a tall glass of CTS for St. Patrick’s Day 2013, using one of the oldest Irish taverns in Charleston, MA as an inspiration to the colorway. There’s a lot beneath the classic surface like the Lunarlon drop-in sockliner and traction rubber vulc-sole, but Converse aficionados already know this considering the Converse CTS was especially popular when it was added to the Converse Skate line. This limited edition release will be available on Friday, March 15th at CNCPTS, Slam City Skates in London, Flatspot in Ontario Canada at an MSRP of $65, so check out the additional angles below for another look.

The Jack Purcell smiles its way into the floral print party this spring as two new pairs hit the scene with a style you might describe as ‘Hawaiian’. The ‘Floral’ Converse Jack Purcell is rendered in two colorways, both of which mix palm fronds with hibiscus flowers in a style you might expect to see on a flowy casual buttondown. White and blue styles are roughly inverted mirrors of one another, and you can see both of them after the jump, then grab yours at select Converse retailers like Up There.
