Lupe Fiasco Converse All-Stars
… you know, Chuck Taylors. As part of the (PRODUCT) RED campaign to eliminate AIDS in Africa, Lupe Fiasco and Dr. Romanelli go together to create a very unique Converse All-Star. The shoe looks like the traditional Chuck Taylor, except rather than canvas the upper is completely patent leather, and the usually-black line is red, as is the outsole. Even the iconic “Converse All-Star” badge on the ankle is just impressioned into the patent leather.
David Z stores and DavidZ.com have the Lupe Fiasco Converse All-Star now for $100. A bit steep for All-Stars, but the patent leather and good cause give you a nice excuse to splurge. And these things will break necks. I was at Urban Outfitter the other day debating the wearability of leather All-Stars. These patent leather joints put them to shame.

Hey man. There are some things I would like to say to you.
1. I think your blog is truly awesome. I’ve subscribed to your RSS-feed, and everytime you update your blog – I read the latest post… no matter where I am. It could be on my mobile or on my computer. It doesn’t matter. Your blog simply owns and I love the shoes you give us tips about!
2. The converse shoes you’re talking about in this post… do you have any idea of where to get shoes like that? I think they look very good, and I’m interested in buying a pair. I’ve been looking all over the net, but I can’t seem to find ‘em. How about posting a link to the store where you could actually buy a pair of those next time? Would be much easier for people like me.
Anyway, don’t let me waste your time… thanks for a great blog and keep up the good work!
