Cody Hudson x Converse (RED) Chuck Tayor All Star High

I didn't think that a Red Leather Chucks with a blue toecap would be appealling to me but YO!! I love them. Cody Hudson x Converse (RED) Chuck Tayor All Star High collaboration is very dope. Peep the pics and tell us what you think.

Big Boi Chucks

One half of one of Dudes favourite Hip Hop group Outkast has collaborated with Converse on a sneaker. You probably hoping I would say Andre huh?...Yeah? Me too.
Big Boi(the other guy from Outkast) collaborated with Converse and we are glad he did not mess up our beloved Chuck Taylors. Peep as he explains the collab.



PS: When is Outkast dropping new music yo!!!!

New Chuck Taylor!!

In a time when every other brand has their own bootleg Chucks, Converse has decided to release a new version of the iconic sneaker later this year. The name Chucks are simply called the Chuck Taylor Cup (We think its because of the newly added cup sole, but hey...we could be wrong). Peep the pics below.







They might not be the original design or a far cry from the original Chucks but we still dig 'em. Whats your take?

Chuck Taylor or Chuck Failure

If you are theblagg la familia then you are probably aware of the love we have for Chuck Taylor (especially cut-off Chucks with skate shoe laces. FIRE!). So this post might come as a shock because we are very "unsure" of the direction Converse is taking our dearly beloved Chuck. See for yourself.

We love the leather, but wasup with the velcro strap yo?? NOT BLAGGER!!


We love everything in black...Guess its true what they say huh "There's always an exception".

We will probably love the cut-off or low-top version but the high-top is a bit of a disappointment. Your Thoughts?

Guess Not

Chuck Taylor All Stars, or Converse All Stars also referred to as "Chucks" are canvas and rubber sneakers which were first produced in 1917. Fast forward to 2009, Guess releases the exact same design as their "new sneaker". This puts Guess in a long list of Chuck Taylor biters, they get no love from me. After brands like Levis, Soviet and Fila also having their go at the plagiarism of All Stars, you would think that Guess would have the dignity or at least the common sense not to attempt to go down the same road. Guess again, it seems the All Star bandwagon just got another passenger.
