chuck taylors


Remember those incredibly awesome Chucks we featured last month with Breaking Bad, Walking Dead and Dexter designs? Well, they’re now available for purchase in the Tauntr store! And the best part is that they’re only $85—which is a bargain when you consider these are custom designs.

Needless, to say, these would make a sweet gift for some nerd out there…like me. But the Walking Dead version doesn’t come in size 13 dammit!

Tauntr designed some Converse Chuck Taylors based on three of the most kick ass shows on television. I only wish they were available for sale…and that there was a Mr. Belvedere version.

Check out the Breaking Bad and Dexter Chucks after the break.

Street Fighter meet Chuck Taylor. Maya Pixelskaya takes mundane shoes to complete and fantastic nerdom with this paint job. One shoe features Chun Li, and the other displays Ryu. It takes the dedication of a geek to hand-paint shoes with this level of detail.

See more photos after the break.

Over the last couple of months we have delivered news out of Japan regarding a series of Converse Chucks celebrating the 25th anniversary of the release of Super Mario Bros. As you might expect, they have proven to be quite popular—but getting your hands on a pair in the US seemed unlikely.

However, the good news is that JBox is now taking pre-orders for the first two black and white pairs. Granted, they aren’t cheap at $130, but we are willing to bet that there are quite a few people out there willing to pay a little extra for these. Hopefully, the other two pairs will available for pre-order down the line as well.

Last month we featured the new line of DC Comics superhero-themed Chucks featuring Superman, Batman, The Flash and Green Lantern. For the ladies out there, we now present the Catwoman lo-top versions.

There is also Wonder Woman hi and los pictured after the break that were released earlier this year, though they might be tougher to find.

Back in April, we revealed the first two Chuck Taylors Converse Japan has planned as a tribute to the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. However, it seems that they had more up their sleeve.

The latest versions feature graphics lifted right from the game. Check out the Bowser’s Castle version (along with additional pics) after the break.

Of course, these awesome hand-knit Mega Man Chucks won’t come cheap.

These are new Converse high tops. Megaman appears on the outside of each shoe. The uppers are hand knit in 100% superwash wool and are hand-stitched to the canvas shoes. The shoes sport the classic white sole and black tongue.

These shoes can be custom made in any size.

I doubt that Kurt would be thrilled with (what appears to be) Courtney Love pimping out his memory on a pair of shoes—but like it or not, Nirvana fans can now pick up high and low top Chuck Taylors that feature doodles and passages from his personal notebook.
