What typically reminds you of Dr. Seuss? Obviously you would always remember the children’s books whenever you would hear his name. He has been one of the most popular cartoonist and illustrators of all time and all his sketches were well loved by adults and children alike. Converse is very proud to present the most recent addition to their Dr. Seuss collaboration collection and here we have a chance to look at the four sneakers in the collection, set in red and white.

It has bold colors and designs which are seen predominantly on Converse Chuck Taylor All Star shoes. This collection is not just for kids but of course for those who are still kids by heart. The sneakers are made available in a variety of sizes from toddler to adult at a very affordable price range of between $35 to $65. So rush now to your favorite Converse online store and grab a pair for you.

You would really find it amazing at times when you realize that Converse has been doing Chuck Taylor since 1917. This makes it just a few years younger than being considered 100 years in production. At one point, these shoes remain unchanged especially with its basic features and designs. It has even managed to stay essentially modern regardless of how many trends and seasons have passed. This is really an impressive feat for any sneaker brand to accomplish. Hence, on our end as sneaker fanatics and reviewers, we are proud to say and announce always new versions that come up for the Chuck Taylor. Today, we will be looking at the brand new Converse Chuck Taylor Nylon All Star Pack.

This brand new pack is made up of two sneakers that are made up of nylon. It somehow resembles the flight jacket and they will soon be available in military green or black colors.

A few days ago we were able to bring you a look at the “team orange” Nike Air Max+ 2010. But don’t be too quick to think that Nike’s the best alternative for all your training needs. Pictured here is the Fall 2010 collection of Auckland Racer training shoes being released by the Converse First String Standards lineup. The Auckland Racer silhouette was originally designed in the 1970′s and now comes equipped with the same reflective TPU and nylon mesh seen on a lot of 1970′s clothing, but refurbished to help make the sneaker more sleek and suitable for quick movements. These will be made available soon in black, blue and light grey colorways from select Converse retailers nationwide.

Here is another new pair from Converse that all of you would surely find interesting in looks and designs. This could be such a bliss to all those Converse fans out there. It was just months ago, when the most updated look of the Converse First String Standard Matchpoint III was introduced in the US.

This particular pair joins in the club of the pairs made in Black and Parchment. But I am quite sure you would agree when I say that this is more eye catching than the previous pairs. The primary reason for this is that the one thing that would definitely get your attention by this pair is its long hair suede built that is in red.

Anyone would agree that the red color is truly captivating. And it was deeply more emphasized when places in these sneakers. It has a navy blue liner with an off white sole.

Are you a huge Converse fan? I admit I love Converse especially when it comes to the customized designs of their Chuck Taylor series. Now, here is yet another CONS CTS Mid which has finally reached the retailers in the US. But there was news that it has first reached the overseas market for the last couple of weeks.

This shoe pair is made in grey suede that is entirely perforated. What is missing here is the rubber toe cap that is a classic part in every Converse CTS pair. This is what we usually perceive on Chucks. It has classic white sole with the accented red linings or stripes. It has metal eyelets to bolster up the midfoot and work out a nice contrast and detailing. You can head over to Premier to watch out for it to hit the shelves soon in your local shops. Excited? Just like me!

Robert Indiana, an American pop artist recently collaborated with Converse on a some Chuck Taylor designs for both low and Hi. He applied his very popular LOVE art which was also used widely on a specific Christmas card that was featured for the Museum of Modern Art in 1964. You can check his latest designs with the Chuck Taylor as his base. Truly elegant and timeless.

It is on white upper canvas mixed with a sole that is vulcanized of the same white color. But the work of the artist is seen apparent all throughout the heel and side sections of the shoes. This creates a distinct look for the shoes. Letters of L-O-V-E are scattered all throughout the sections in red. It has royal blue hints that are also made visible in between the letters. It has silver laceholders, inner lining in red and laces that are in white. It has black linings as well all throughout the entire shoes.

I would not be surprised to know that every sneaker head reader of this post has a pair of two of Converse’s Chuck Taylor. It’s been staple footwear since the first time that I got aware of shoe fashion and until this day. The good thing with this Converse silhouette is that it never fails to bring amazement to its prospect buyers and for sure, you will like its new sneaker. Another wearable shoe for the Converse Chuck Taylor is not in canvas but in leather material with moccasin strands. Have a glance with the picture. Just like the (Product) RED “Thriller” shoe, this is quite experimental with its overall look but very captivating. This Moccasin version will give you a break of the classic Chuck with its black leather uppers, classic vulcanized sole and moccasin strands that hang perfectly from the collar. Though it has no definite release date yet, this one is a must-see and must-have type of a sneaker.

The last colorway that we may have all seen this CONS CTS Mid was in black waxed canvas. Now this new white colorway seems to be the yin to the yang. The upper section is all in white giving way for the red and navy blue stripes to be noticed along the midsoles.

There are red threads that act as border on the tongue’s top serving as additional accent along with some metal eyelets in silver in midfoot.
