Converse continues to dig deep into their archive for their 100th anniversary collection. In this case they re-issue the Fire Bird, first released in 1983. The classic basketball sneaker gets a makeover and will return in April in a colorful mix. Also the tongue comes with a glittery gold Converse tag, hinting the occasion.

Japanese brand N.Hollywood got together with Converse as part of their Spring/Summer 2008 collection. They worked on a classic high-top sneaker by the brand and kept it rather simple. The shoe has a beige suede upper with sliver around the ankle. These are now available at Quentin.

Along with their 100 anniversary celebrations, Converse brings back the Skidgrip, a shoe first introduced in 1940. They gave the shoe, which is similar to the Vans Era, a vintage look with a worn-out sole and present it for Spring ‘08 in two colorways – the one that you see above and another one inspired by the American flag.
The Converse Skidgrip is now available at Shoe Planet. More pics after the jump.

New pieces out of the Converse x John Varvatos Spring 2008 collection have been released at Kicks/Hi.
They got in two Chuck Taylor Hi’s, one dipped in white paint and the other coming with metal studs, both featuring leather laces. Also they released a Jack Purcell Vintage in a nice summer colorway with a striped upper design.

Converse and Japanese store Tokishirazu teamed up earlier this year to work on a collaboration of the Weapon Hi. The outcome is a pack of two colorways – green/white/silver and black/white/silver. Overall they kept the sneakers very clean, the silver accents on the logo are nice and otherwise you will also find the Tokishirazu logo on the inner sole.

Again the heel carries the Fragment Design logo as an embroidery. According to Complex, these will be hitting stores March 1rst.
