Converse Releases Chuck Taylor x Nike Flyknit Sneakers

I went here with GUM SOLE SHOES, also from CONVERSE Philippines.

I'm the fat guy who got to visit the new CONVERSE store in Eastwood City a couple of weeks ago. I also was one of the few who got to see one of the newest additions to the Chuck Taylor line which I have to explain to you how special it is. You probably know NIKE too right? Well they've partnered up with Converse on this new one and with great reason, NIKE has in the past released quite a number of FLYKNIT footwear. The fabric they use for the NIKE FLYKNIT line has been precision engineered for stitches that make your feet divided into sections where it needs stretch or support. Meet the new CONVERSE x NIKE FLYKNIT SNEAKERS.

The shoe uses special fibers that are incredibly strong than the usual panels they put in on regular ones. It's one of the things that provide the necessary support when you move fast, in performance tasks but remains surprisingly light. Part of the fabric is made of ultra light yarn made with the thought of reducing waste, so you get less of it in the trash later on if it gets worn out. This unbelievable fiber technology from NIKE is the same one that is being implemented in these Chuck Taylor x Nike Flyknit Sneakers that's breathable, making it stay light and comfortable the whole day. The sole is also using Nike Lunarlon technology, taking your that amount of comfort you already have even further.

Since we were there already, we also took a look at these Chuck Taylor All Star II Pastels that would be so perfect for the ladies. It'll be cute, sassy, trendy, but still lovely as your other Chucks in the racks. Aside from that, we took a history class about how THE FASTBREAK from Converse came about. Did you know a LOT of famous NBA stars started wearing these shoes for professional basketball? I certainly think so too in the local PBA back in the days, because who wouldn't love such a cool looking pair?

Now here's the new Chuck Taylor x Nike Flyknit Sneakers for your viewing pleasure!

These good looking shoes will be sold in all Converse stores and shops nationwide. Make sure you ask for stocks because special shoes like these could run out as there are existing collectors and shoeholics like me who would take it away from you. Don't make me do it and get one now!

I've been wearing this pair for about a week now to test if it's comfy. It's available in two variants, the charcoal black shade and the other is on the green side (which I got). I think it's passed flying colors despite torrential rains this week. It hugs me in two parts, like the part where it's right after the sole and the part after the middle part of the foot. That's where most of the tension lies when walking so it supports me in those areas. That's a cool pair right there.

The NEW Converse Counter Climate Collection

Converse Philippines Executives, Influencers and Celebrity Endorsers

It was a night that ended in great festivities, wind blowing from every direction, clinking wine glasses and awesome shoes. How can we beat that? We don't... so what do we do? We join them. Converse has been in the street and sports scene for quite a long time, but to be honest, they've never been really out of style. Generations upon generations of teens, not so teens and kids have them. It's never been about gender, orientation, alien or monsters, because EVERYBODY has them. 

It's been raining a lot this season and Converse knows how much you need to have a pair of their shoes whatever, whenever, or just about any day that you would have to abuse your shoes. They've got the new Counter Climate Collection to take care of you. These lovely foot covers are not your ordinary Converse sneakers because they have premium weatherized features, a mix between water repellant materials and still breathable whilst not veering away from comfort and design. Imagine your Chucks, Cons, Jack Purcells which all look good when you're in a monsoon rain or the Sahara desert.

These are CONVERSE ESSENTIALS. These are athletic wear designed for everyday use especially for the active ones. If you are always on the go and want nothing to go between your great day and your great shoes. Run around amuck in every marathon, or every fun run outside or in the gym but still be comfy in what's on your skin. They've got pullovers, tees, zip hoodies and joggers which you can obviously wear when it's a little nippy.

Believe me I wore it this way until I got home. So everybody saw how crazy I am haha!

First dibs wouldn't be a legitimate word for it because I've already experienced the CONVERSE ALL STAR RUBBER from a few years back. It has saved me a lot of times from torrential rains and walking trips that involves centimeters of rainfall or falling in the mud with women, I mean friends. See the one on the left? That's the new one. That's the CONVERSE Chuck Taylor All Star II Shield Canvas. It's for ME, the Chuck lover who wants to wear it everyday. If it's hot or cold, the shoes can still breathe. Aside from that, you've got reflective material on it. It glistens when light hits, the neon bits also glows in the dark. How can you lose on something so awesome? You don't!

They went out with 2 things for Jack. The first of which is the CONVERSE JACK PURCELL SIGNATURE TWILL SHIELD CANVAS which has a water repellent finish, a tri color reflective heel, plus a mesh lining on the material's back. It felt a lot cooler, figuratively and literally. There's also the CONVERSE JACK PURCELL SIGNATURE M-SERIES which has enhanced visibility even in low light conditions. It's got a Lunarlon insole too for comfortable walking, with all the weather loving, changing, water repellent material as well.

Now you've got a peek of what's in store for this season, I just have one more to add. The CONVERSE CHUCK TAYLOR ALL STAR II RUBBER will have another shot this time. It involves a transparent rubber overlay on the same Chuck II designs. Not only does it protect your feet from the road you're walking on. It also will protect your lovely feet from the elements, no Engkantadya element would have an effect on it, I kid. It's got micro perforated leather lining and a heat reflecting barrier so your little toes stay warm. 

For those who want a piece of these gorgeous shoes, now is the right time to probably get one. They've got shoes on sale until the 18th of this month. Don't say I didn't tell you about it! Rush to CONVERSE stores nationwide and find your new Chucks today!

The New Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II Mono

We've been very busy these past few weeks but when the invite to actually see the Converse Spring/Summer collection had me going. You see, I've got a quarter of my shoe collection with their name on it and to be one of the few people to actually see this is but an honor. Manila's influencers, bloggers and celebrities were actually there too and I was super excited about the new collection. They asked us to take off our shoes and gave us the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II.

Thanks to Earth for taking candids of me while I was taking photos of her LOL. I'm wearing Chuck II Mono in Parchment White!

Now I wouldn't actually wear white on a normal day but once they gave me this pair, I changed my mind. I usually would wear black and because they got me this, I said "Hey! It actually looks good on me!" complete with a happy grin. This is part of the Chuck II Mono collection and is available in Parchment White (which I have) and the other is black. I suggest you get the white one as it gives you more flair, like canvass, you can also probably have this customized if you have artist friends who can doodle or draw. Although, I prefer it as it is.

Style wise, you still see the iconic design you see in every Chuck Taylor shoe, however, it's something inside that actually matters. I'm sure you've heard of Lunarlon right? It's that neon green colored insole cushioning which they have developed with a padded non-slip tongue and super soft micro-suede lining. If you're under the impression that Converse is a little uncomfortable in the sole, you must try it with the Lunarlon and you'll definitely change the way you look at Chucks! A pair costs Php 3,990.00.

Here's some highlights from the event on video. Enjoy!

There are more shoes and models in the pipeline, we've actually seen some of them and if you're excited, they'll come out in the first half of the year! I'm so excited for one of them but I've got to keep that a secret. I'll tell you about it when it comes out of the market!
