CONS Rune Pro Mid – Fall 2010 Colorways

Rune Glifberg will go down as one of the greatest skaters of all time and one of the few to reach the peak of both street and vert excellence. It was a quiet coup when Converse Skateboarding signed Glifberg last year, with Rune’s new sneaker sponsor largely overshadowed by Eric Koston’s move to Nike SB. Here’s the first shot back from CONS, the Rune Pro Mid, which is somewhere between the Cooldige Mid and the Weapon series. New pairs in black or white, blue and red both mix canvas and suede skillfully and you can see more shots of both after the jump.

Converse Chuck Taylor – Nike Parent Company Promo Sample

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Nike’s rise to top meant its competitors would fall to its knees, but instead, the brands still exist under Nike ownership. Now operating as subsidiaries of Nike, brands like Converse, Hurley, Starter, Bauer Hockey, and others still pump out their own products while maintaining its original identity. This promo sample pair of Converse Chuck Taylors from 2005 features all of the aforementioned brands stamped on the upper of the shoe, representing unity among the brands (although we know Nike is top dog). These samples are truly a rare piece and they’re priced quite generously considering the scarcity, so try your luck on this auction from lacedheat on eBay.

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Cup Sole – Fall 2010

Ronnie Fieg recently showed off a duo of Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Highs that looked amazing in grey and black leather with white soles. The spirit of those axed sample pairs is resurrected for this new pack of Converse Chuck Taylor Cup Sole hightops on tap for Fall 2010. Both grey and black pairs are done in rich leather, but forgo the embossed insignias found on Feig’s joints for a more traditional sewn on medial logo. The biggest change, though, would be the all-white cupsoles that should make these an even smoother ride than your average Chucks. Click the jump below for more images and check for these at your local Converse retailer.
