I introduced Converse 100 Anniversary Edition Grateful Dead Skull And Roses hi top Chuck Taylors. A cool looking sneaker with both a history and a historic band feature. Converse sent me a complimentary pair of the Grateful Dead All Stars, but neither of the one I featured. I saw this pair on a different website and I really liked them. I had no idea that this was the pair they were going to send to me, but I was pleasantly surprised when they arrived.

Converse is celebrating 100 years of converse with a new line of the Classic “Chuck Taylor” All Stars. 100 years, really? That’s right. Converse started up 100 years ago in 1908 as Converse Rubber Corporation. Nine years later the Converse All Star basketball shoe was born. Still a timeless classic that has survived through almost a century of changes in footwear fashion and design. Very few things have lasted so long without deviating too far from the original design.

As part of their new designs celebrating their 100th anniversary, Converse started unveiling a line of rock band inspired All Stars sold at Journey’s. Bands featured in this line is The Grateful Dead, Black Sabbath, The Doors, The Who, Ozzy Osbourne, and Pink Floyd.

The first line to roll out is the Grateful Dead design. With a white on white look with the classic Grateful Skull and Roses. Also available are low-tops with the classic Dancing Bears.
