The last Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars with ‘pockets’ shown here on Sneaker News appeared a little over two years ago, when a couple of denim lowtops included several jeanswear elements across their uppers. This new duo skips out on the denim look, but is bound to draw even more attention thanks to the titular Cigarpocket that rests on the lateral ankles. Zippered pockets on olive and navy pairs makes for extra utility on one of the great all time blank canvas shoes, and you can see more shots of both pairs after the jump.
It was only a matter of time before Wiz Khalifa got his own Converse shoe. You’ll remember back in March we gave you the word Nike Free 3.0 V2 that the Pittsburgh rapper was officially inked up with the brand, a partnership that only made sense given how much he’s been sporting their sneakers and calling them out in his lyrics for the duration of his time in the spotlight. Presented here for the first time is the first retail release from the Wiz Khalifa Collection by Converse – a padded collar high top affair rife with details such as camouflage print, stars, and a studded tongue. This model will be available at Foot Locker retail locations on August 23rd, so continue reading to see more on the Converse All Star Swag Hi from the Air Max 95 360 Womens Wiz Khalifa x Converse collection and tell us in the comments if you’ll be Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 picking up a pair.
Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars and Jack Purcells are two of the most thoroughly themed and colorway’d sneakers out there. This latest drop from Converse’s top-tier First String collection is in line with the series’ premium reputation, two new pairs utilizing one of the world’s finest woolen materials. This new ‘Cashmere Pack’ has the 1970s-style Chuck and JP lowtops taking on a navy blue cashmere weave whose stripes and twill have them feeling more like a warm flannel than the sweaters most commonly associated with this luxurious wool. Look at both up close after the jump and find them at First String stores this Friday, August 9th.
