After taking a look at the complete Gorillaz x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star collection, here’s yet another Chuck Taylor project. Converse Japan has taken the Chuck Taylor All Star and literally turned it down with this Turndown LC OX rendition. The usually higher ankle area seems folded down and gets special embroidery to further accent it. A brown colorway looks very smooth, but you can also check out a white alternative and/or purchase either one online now.

After taking a first look at the green Gorillaz x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star last winter, we now get a look at the complete collection of sneakers that make up this pack. Of course, there are the aforementioned Chuck Taylor All Stars. However, also included are two more high-top Chuck Taylor All Stars as well as a low-top rendition. They each sport uppers influenced by the virtual band’s artwork; and, they will all be made available this month. Which of the four sneakers in this pack is your favorite?

Converse Skateboarding has already offered us a look into its Spring 2012 collection. However, here’s another Converse design that could work for you skateboarders- although it isn’t strictly from said line. Pictured here is the Converse PL Street Suede mid in two Spring 2012 colorways. One pair comes in a black suede upper with white accents, while the second pair comes in dark red instead of black. Both drop later this month from participating Converse stockists.

Converse Japan designed a rather playful low-top One Star sneaker in a Super Mario Bros. theme that could even be a collectible for fans of the video game- regardless of your passion for sneakers. For February, Converse Japan is also dropping a “J Glaze CR” version of the One Star. This version is topped off with a glazed upper that might remind some of you out there of the finish seen on several pottery designs. What do you think about the glazed upper?

Unveiled in November, the Gorillaz x Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star Hi is now rolling out to retailers.

Retaining the classic white ribber toe cap, midsole and red and black foxing stripes of the original, this pairs of Chucks rocks a unique camouflage upper and artistic inner lining designed by the Gorillaz themselves.

One of the coolest looking Chucks to drop in a long time, this collab is available now for $60 at Mr. R Sports.

Converse came out strong in 2012 with its Year of the Dragon sneaker collection, which included the increasingly popular Jack Purcell silhouette. Now, Converse Japan has re-worked said model into the Boat-Moccasin Slip version pictured here. Perfect for Spring/Summer weather and your next cruise trip, this design coems in all-white and could very well be the laid back look many will be going for when these hit select Converse retailers in March.
