Where can you find the patent leather shoes? Is Nike making a version or is Converse the only supplier?

I do not know about Nike, but Converse is the only one making a patent leather show. You can get it from only one supplier, and that is The Official's Choice, Inc., in New Jersey.

Its website is: http://www.TheOfficialsChoiceInc.com

Just look in the rulebook.
 
The back of the NF Rulebook.

Official's Choice is the only supplier. But all the information is in the Rulebook. Has been for two seasons now.

Peace

The officials choice is saying that Converse is no longer making the shoe and they can't get anymore. I guess I am out of luck.

Converse went under as a company and Nike has bought the right to their name and presumably their shoe lasts too
I hope Nike will contine to make shoes for officials like Converse did but with such a relatively small market demand I kind of doubt it.
