It wasn’t too long ago that we caught a glimpse of one of the more recent collaborative efforts Converse has been working on with United Bamboo in an effort to further spread the 1HUND(RED) campaign. We’re now here to inform everyone that Terence Koh had been made a part of the effort to heighten AIDS awareness in Africa as well, and the result was the pair of Chuck Taylor All Stars pictured here. Similar looking to the resulting product of the aforementioned collaboration between Converse and United Bamboo, this pair of the Chuck Taylor All Star sports a COMPLETELY white leather design, with an embossed Converse logo on one side and absolutely nothing else on the other side of each shoe. Opening Ceremony will have this pair of the Chuck Taylor All Star on sale starting November 21, as will other select retailers.

Last month, we saw Blends join the 1HUND(RED) campaign for Aids relief in Africa with a pair of the Converse One Star. Now, United Bamboo lends its creative juices and applies them to the Chuck Taylor All Star pictured here in a different look than we’re used to. The shoe comes with an embroidered pattern throughout the entire upper, a suede toe cap, and red stripe near the ankle that bares the United Bamboo brand name. These will drop via honeyee TOMORROW, Friday the 13th.

The iconic Chuck Taylor All-Star may very well be the most polymorphic shoe on the market. Seeing rapid variations in colors, materials, and embellishments, it’s relatively rare for the actual structure of the model’s upper to be adapted.  This year, however, Converse appears to be thinking ‘outside of the box’, first with the padded collar model we saw last month, and now with the release of this strap/leather model. Fitted with a double ankle strap, the sneaker also features a protruding heel tab, and lacks the normal Chuck Taylor All-Star embellishments. If you’re interested in the altered silhouette, the model can be found now in white and black at select Converse retailers.

Robert Indiana’s infamous pop art ‘LOVE’ sculpture makes its way onto the Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star in this collection of both high and low top models. Originally intended to be the cover for a Christmas card, the iconic nature of the sculpture is amplified by the use of the similarly influential Converse sneaker. A direct collaboration with the artist, his work can be found on the midsole and upper, along with his signature on the tongue/insole. Set to release in the Spring of next year, you can check out some more detailed images of the collaboration effort after the jump.

Converse’s iconic Chuck Taylor All-Star gets a makeover in this two-part collection set to release next month. The most notable upgrade being its thick insulated collar, the model also features a leather upper and re-inforced outsole. Part of Converse’s new “Always On” campaign, both colorways are expected to hit Footlocker and other retailers on November 15th.

Known for its versatility, the Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star has been given a makeover unlike any other we’ve ever seen. In honor of the late King of Pop, the iconic shoe has literally been reversed, panel by panel, an unreal visual feat not unlike the famous dance move it pays homage to. Of the many reversed design aspects, the first noticed is the new location of the lace eyelets. Once the mind has wrapped itself around how a heel lace-up would even work, some more subtle switches are noticed, like that between the heel tab and the toe box. With even the classic All-Star logo receiving a ‘No Good, No Stars’ parody, no aspect of the shoe has been left untouched — in fact, I’m curious to see if the soles have gone through a little inversion of their own. The backwards Cons drop exclusively at Alife Rivington Club later this week, but I wouldn’t expect them to stick around for long.

The Converse Chuck All-Star has gone from being a high-performance shoe strictly for the hardwood to a casual favorite, its “ragtop” upper a canvas for patterns, unique color schemes, and images. The model returns yet again in 2009, this time with polka dots. The Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star Polka Dot Pack is comprised of three lowtop pairs: blue, white, and black; the triumvirate is available now overseas and in America at most retailers. Via ripe.
