Number (N)ine for Converse Spring 2010 – Chuck Taylor All Star and One Star



Quite unexpectedly, Number (N)ine reappears even though the brand has been closed not long ago. This time they worked with Converse for Spring 2010 and it will actually be a collaboration through-out the entire year. Definitely exciting news, especially for Number (N)ine fans.

“Converse announces its Number (N)ine for Converse collection. Some of the last Number (N)ine products available from Takahiro Miyashita’s highly sought-after label, the collection includes a Chuck Taylor All Star and a One Star shoes that will be available in February and will be followed up later in the year with new versions and Takahiro’s take on the Converse Odessa trainer.

The collaboration seems especially fitting for Takahiro who sees Converse as a sort of beginning and an end. “My childhood started with Converse” he says, noting that with the closing of Number (N)ine, that Converse has a special existence in relation to both his youth and the end of Number (N)ine.

Converse worked closely with Takahiro to create his interpretations of the Chuck Taylor All Star and One Star shoes, which Takahiro considers “authentic and permanent”. Taking a hybrid approach, Takahiro chose to incorporate the asymmetrical lacing of the 1970 and ‘80s era Converse Odessa shoe into his design. The Odessa shoe, which was originally designed for running, was super innovative for its time and a shoe from the Converse archives that Takahiro has long admired. Following the Chuck Taylor All Star and One Star versions, Converse will debut the Number (N)ine version of the Odessa trainer in early 2010.

The collection includes an oxford version of the Chuck Taylor All Star shoe with premium deer skin, yellow shag suede uppers, asymmetrical lacing and a metallic gold star on the shoe’s heel. A One Star version is also available in premium deer skin white shag suede uppers, asymmetrical lacing and a silver metallic star on the shoe’s heel. The shoes global launch is set for March 13, 2010 at select retailers globally. A full retailer list also follows after the jump.”

Jeremy Scott adidas 3-Tongue Low


If you are trying to hold your tongue about the latest creation from design virtuoso, Jeremy Scott and adidas Originals, you can hold one but still have two more to spare to voice your opinion. The 3-Tongue Low is a revamped model from the high-top version seen last year. This year, Mr.Scott gives the world another tongue lashing (3 to be exact) that screams creative absorption and negative deflection. With this many tongues, only a person of great taste (buds) can pull these off! This chrome silhouette retails for about $195 and are available now at Wish.

Air Jordan Phly Legend – Carmelo Anthony PE


With a bevy of new models from Jordan Brand in recent months, we haven’t seen too much of the Air Jordan Phly Legend of late. This pair won’t change that, except for one Carmelo Anthony. The NBA’s third leading scorer is known to have a ridiculously massive spread of Jays in his many closets, but this Phly Legend is sure to get some extra attention. It has a super-smooth old school look thanks to a two-toned design and the lightly tumbled leather upper. A laser-etched ‘MELO’ reminds you that you can’t get these, but feel free to enjoy more photos after the jump.

Nike Blazer High Vintage – Stone – Sail


You’re not going to get any better than this with vintage kicks this spring, so go ahead and buy them, then come back and read this. Seriously, though, this new Nike Blazer High VNTG looks like the shoe was born to live in grey suede with distressed white accents. Some vintage colourways are a stretch, but the upper colour seems just right and the quality of that suede will have you thinking “They do, in fact, make things like they used to.” Or maybe even better; they just hit Japan’s atmos and we’ll keep you posted on the US side of things.
