The Converse All Star Tie Dye Pack dropped overseas just in time for the warm summertime months. Composed of the Chuck Taylor All Star and Skidgrip Mid and Ox, each model’s canvas upper has been tie-dyed. A purple/orange/pink/white schema and black/purple/green/royal blue/ white scheme colorway are offered on the Skid and Chuck, and both are complimented by a rubber outsole. A bit too lucid for my purist tastes, but perhaps the Hypeasts/”Kanyeezys” of the world will match these with their rose-colored denim and multicolored polo shirts this July? Only time will tell. The Converse All Star Tie-Dye Pack is available now at select overseas accounts.

With the NBA 2009 All Star Game just around the corner, we are now getting a first look at a Nike Zoom MVP inspired by All Star Weekend. Though Steve Nash did not actually make the roster for the game this year, his signature sneaker, the Zoom MVP, will still receive the All Star Game treatment. This pair is a “Trash Talk” release which indicates that the sneaker takes an eco-friendly approach and is literally made of trash out of Nike’s factory floors.

Who doesn’t like a good pair of glow in the dark sneakers? Nike started the glow in the dark sneaker craze a while ago with their Nike Dunk High, and now Converse is stepping up and releasing their very own glow in the dark All Star Owari-Shippo High. Featuring a light yellow upper accented by a pink Converse logo, a blue midsole, yellow inner lining, and blue accents, this pair doesn’t seem too special at first look. But once the lights are off, all the light yellow aspects of the sneaker turn into a glow in the dark neon green color. Check out how the sneaker looks when the lights are turned on after the ‘jump.’ These are now available at Undefeated Chapter Stores in Japan.

Though the new Nike Zoom Kobe IV has gained much attention over the past few months, many basketball players still prefer its high top counterpart, the Nike Hyperdunk. With the NBA All Star 2009 Game just around the corner, Nike Basketball has created two colorways of the Hyperdunk—one for the Eastern conference All-Stars and one for the Western conference All-Stars. Each pair directly correlates with the team’s jerseys. The “West” Nike Hyperdunk features a red upper while its Eastern counterpart yields a gradient blue upper. Both pairs come equipped with a white midsole, a white swoosh, and white laces. There is no word if these will be made available to the public or not, but be sure to stay tuned for updates.
