What do you get when you combine Chuck Taylors, awesome idea and video games? “A playable version of Space Invaders (classic) with the game formed on the wall with different Chuck Taylors flipping back and forth instead of your typical pixels.” (Freshness) The video and idea are pretty impressive. I’m pretty sure this is not the easiest adaptation of the game, but the video’s definitely worth a watch.

I’m pretty sure this is the biggest Chuck Taylor around. A fundraiser inspired by the movie Gulliver’s Travels that has brought a huge 5 meter Converse sneaker to Aoyama Children’s Castle where kids can write their messages of hope in support of Japan. I can speak on evil of the sneaker or the effort. Good stuff.

Not sure if it’s the fact that I know I don’t need to be wearing jackets for a long time (being that we’re in Malaysia right now) or what, but I have been checking leather jackets online even more than usual. One of the coolest jackets I came across lately is the Schott NYC x Converse Perfecto jacket which is unfortunately not made for retail. Only 36 of these jackets were produced for the friends and family of Converse.

Normally we share the dissected sculptures by Jason Freeny, but today I wanted to share a dissected piece of different kind. A classic shoe, redone in style. I’m of course talking about the Converse Addict Chuck Taylors. Chucks are known to be awesome kicks you can still get at an affordable price but what makes this shoe so special it costs almost three times as much as a normal pair of Converse All Star Chuck Taylors. Thus some good folks went and dissected this remake of a classic to show exactly what it is made of?

So what do you make out of this. A group of creative young minds got together during the Nike’s World Basketball Festival and combined elements of three giants Nike, Jordan and Converse. Now I do know the brands pretty much all live under same roof but still, it’s pretty cool idea. Although it is not much more than a show piece but still a nice example of young creativity.

I thought of kick-starting today wit ha little sneaker edition dedicated to a pretty fly pair of Converse Chuck Taylors. I saw this Converse(RED) product which was done in collaboration with artist Cody Hudson. The full leather shoe with the RED color and blue toe shell. I really like the shoe just like I like most of the all leather Chucks. However the red color adds a good edge to the shoe differentiating it from the rest of the similar kicks around.

Greetings!

You know I’m a bit bummed about Lakers losing to the Celtics last night. I mean it was only 103-94, 9 point game but loss is a loss. The teams are now heading to Boston to continue the series. Lakers better pick their game up and not rely “too much” on Kobe alone. If Lakers are playing like they played in the first game of the Finals, it’s all good. Well fair enough Boston was the better team last night. Few days back I posted a little something on UNDFTD’s finals T and chucks. Now UNDFTS’s message to the world was “You can’s beat LA”, while I do convene to these words I still feel it’s good to post a little something for the other side as well. You know, it’s all in the balance.
