| Converse Chuck Taylor “Leather Jacket” x Schott Leather Posted: 04 Dec 2010 09:42 AM PST 
Converse will be releasing a Schott Leather version of its Converse Chuck Taylor "Leather Jacket" sneaker this winter season. “With deep roots in American style and culture, the Schott NYC jacket and the Chuck Taylor All Star shoe have led somewhat parallel lives. Converse began in 1908 and Schott in 1913 and as the part of the 20th Century unfolded, Chuck Taylor All Star shoes were unveiled and quickly became nearly ubiquitous in American life. Not long before Chuck Taylor added his name to the already then famous All Star shoe, in 1928, Schott unveiled the first motorcycle jacket ever. Named the "Perfecto", by the 1950s, the jacket had become a symbol of the new rebellion that was taking hold with the burgeoning teen culture that arose after the War.”
“Referenced in classic film and television— the uniform of the rock and roller, the hoodlum and the rebel often wore a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor All Star shoes and a black Schott Perfecto leather jacket. Likewise, as the punk rock movement swept the streets of downtown New York City and beyond, a Schott leather jacket and a pair of Chucks became synonymous with the scene. Today, both Schott and Converse connect with the American spirit and represent the individualism that both brands have embodied throughout the decades.”

| Nike Zoom Kobe VI “Duke” Preview Posted: 04 Dec 2010 09:40 AM PST 
Aside from their own team shoe, Duke University take some of their own Nike Zoom Kobe VI flavor. The Kobe VI “Duke” features a royal blue snakeskin texture on its upper, a white hued Swoosh and Kobe’s logo on the tounge, and a black set-off player working on the tongue and heel counter. The blue spirit of Duke also appears hard on the lacing system and liner. Though Kobe didn’t have the chance to play for Duke basketball team, this shoe serves as pay of good respect for his dreamed college team back in the days.
