Looks good for basketball officiating. Anyone wearing it? Here's a link to take a peak at it.

They do look good, and fast too. I have not seen anyone wearing them yet though. I don't seem to have a Converse foot so I know I won't be considering them.

I am not a converse man either, but they look decent. Didn't Nike buy out Converse?

No, Adidas bought Reebok who owned Avia and Rockport.

My feet are mostly wide and flat, so I definitely have to try on shoes first. We got a Finishline store locally this summer, so if they have them I'll get a chance to try them out.

I am entering my 3rd season with my Converse 'Whistle' Shoes. They are comfortable, give good support, make me wish kids still wore Chuck Taylors that matched their uniforms, and seem to be out of stock.

I'm beginning to think there's about a dozen companies in the country and they own everything else.

Gasp!

So, are the Tribune Co. and Budweiser owned by the same company?

Then how do you explain the Cubs versus Cardinals?

YES, Nike owns Converse. Nike also owns Starter, Cole Haan, and Bauer Hockey.
I thought I had heard Nike bought them out, but I am wrong more times than I am right.

Converse Icon

I bought a pair. They arrived yesterday. Great looking shoes. Comfortable and they hold a nice shine.

They are a sharp looking alternative to the plastic looking patent leather shoes. There are two white Converse decals on them but they are high enough on the shoe where they should not be visable. If need be, the decals could be covered with a sharpie pen.

You resurrected an 8-month old dead thread to alert the mods? LOL

The Chinese shoe guy you saw earlier resurrected this thread, and the mods must've got him deleted.

He must've used the search feature to find threads about shoes. I sure hope they get rid of that search feature so things like that won't happen again.
