Seattle-based brand Manastash takes their name from a long mountain ridge in central Washington, which should give you some idea of what their vision for outdoor clothing is all about. The company is in its 20th anniversary year in 2013, and this Manastash x Converse Skidgrip Air Max 2012 Men Shoes Mid ‘Con-Rad’ is a nice way of commemorating the occasion. These Skidgrip midtops mix black and off-white on the upper, with a colorful sockliner peeking out through the laces and notched heel. Take a closer look after the jump and expect these at select retailers soon.
Subject of some high-profile collaborations of late courtesy of Hudson’s Bay Company and Maison Martin Margiela, the Converse Jack Purcell Ox arrives today in a fresh new in-house colorway. Now, this is far from the first blue Jack Purcell lowtop released over the years, so it’s the details that makes this one special. These are done in a washed canvas that has an elegantly worn look perfectly mirrored by brass eyelets. Toss it on the famed ‘Smile’ sole and these are good to go, available now at select shops like Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 End.
The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star is a model that’s pretty hard to separate from its old-school aura. These Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 new releases certainly won’t help you do that outwardly, as the build there seems innocuous enough. What makes them special though is the cushioning used. The pairs pictured apparently borrow the Nike Lunar cushioning for their innards, meaning that the ride is way more comfortable than what you’re used to on a standard pair of Chucks. See more with us after the break and watch for these offerings now at stores like Persona.
