Pink Floyd. Just the name brings such a joy to me heart. I’m not one of those fans that gushes over the early Pink Floyd works, but I still love the band for the albums that I own and the spectacle of their live shows.

Even David Gilmour still brings a smile to my face every time I hear his voice in his solo work. It’s soothing, trippy rock & roll that just makes you feel good. You don’t have to be a drug user to enjoy Pink Floyd as a lot of people assume. You just have to be a person that enjoys great music. Pink Floyd are simply legends in rock and Converse knows that.

In celebration of 100 years of the Converse All Stars, Converse has been releasing special edition “Chucks” in all sorts of different flavors. From The Who, The Doors, Ozzy Osbourne to Black Sabbath, Converse has been celebrating their legacy as well as giving tribute to some of the greatest bands in rock history. Their latest edition is the Pink Floyd line of All Stars, branded with designs of historic albums from the band. Read more

Converse 100th Anniversary The Doors Edition All Stars. So far I’ve showed you the Converse 100th Anniversary All Stars for Black Sabbath and The Grateful Dead. This one is long overdue, but I now bring you The Doors edition of the 100th Anniversary Chuck Taylors.

Although I’m not a huge Doors fan, these are by far my favorites of the bunch. This edition of the All Stars kind of has a Viet Nam war era jungle boot look to it. With an olive drab color and black sole, the colors contrast really well. The laces are a bit more heavy duty that a normal pair of Chucks, and as you can see the upper part of the canvas is edged with zipper teeth.

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.
