Converse Japan’s 25th anniversary Super Mario Chucks were a big hit last year, and now they plan to bring the theme to their One Star line with the One Star Super Mario Bros. Ox. I can’t say I’ve ever been a fan of One Stars—but these do look pretty sweet.
The sneakers will be available in black and white leather versions starting at the end of March for ¥12,600, or approximately $164 USD. No word yet on whether there will be a release in the US.

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.
Journeys has three new Converse Chucks coming out in June with Green Lantern, Flash, Superman and Batman themes. Check out the complete collection after the break, though we think that the Flash version is particularly badass. It would look as though I was running like the wind even when I’m sitting down drinking a beer.
The Chuck Taylor sneakers Converse Japan is putting out for Super Mario Bros’ 25th anniversary are cool enough, but check this packaging!
Too bad Chuck Taylor’s make my feet look huger than they already are. Also, I don’t live in Japan.

Unfortunately, the Death Stars shoe line never took off because they kept exploding and blowing people’s feet off. The good news is that you can still save the shirt by voting it up for printing on Qwertee.
