Sorry if I misspoke. Nike has bought out Converse from it's bankruptcy, or something like that. I think the vendor was telling me that the Converse Basketball Officials shoes will no longer be made, or at least no longer be available through Officials Choice. A look at all the major officials suppliers shows no Converse choices, or, CLOSEOUTS on their Converse products (limited sizes left over). One site did have a Converse Press (listed as a basketball shoe) in all sizes.

Converse seems to be touting it's retro Chuck Taylors to nostalgic baby boomers, and now their teenagers (my daughter has a pair in lovely, shiney, purple). Anyway, I don't know if there is a future for the Converse Officials shoes.
