The canvas shoes that has made everyone stylish, from day and night will launch these modern and uniquely inspired designs in both hi-top and low-top styles.

Available in black/blue/grenadine, black/bears, white/blue/grenadine leather, white/bears, white/grenadine/gold and white/multiple.

More Converse Premium Fall 2008 Collections after the fold…

Monochrome black leather uppers with metallic lining and Sabbath-signature purple accented linings. An iconic Black Sabbath artwork is featured on the Chuck Taylor All Star Shoe. While the Jack Purcell was treated with an industrial look and extreme attitude design. The Chuck Taylor All Star shoes come in high top black/white, black/white/gold and parchment/black canvas. Black Sabbath “we sold our sole for rock and roll” are available on Journeys.com and Journeys stores for $49.99

The Doors: The hi-top shoe was inspired by the song “The Unknown Soldier” evident in it’s military-style, combat-fatigue detailing and black soles. The white low-top version features The Doors logo which blends the canvas and rubber side wall into one. The Chuck Taylor All Star high-top shoe is available in vineyard green/black canvas or black/black leather. An oxford version is available in white/black canvas. Retailing to about $50-$100.

Here’s Cristián de la Fuente and pal Eva Longoria during the ALMA Nominees announcement. Cristián is a good looking Latin hottie. I was very intrigued with his blue patent loafers. I guess he figured it would match his blue stripes long sleeves shirt. I’m in the middle. too bright and too bold for my taste but then again, this is Cristián’s style so I can’t fault him for it. Not too much .

What do you think?

The Jeter Clutch | Derek Jeter Sneakers

Image details: Jordan Brand Celebrates Derek Jeter served by picapp.com

The Jeter Clutch, was introduced at Jordan Brand’s last night to celebrate Derek Jeter shoes in NYC during the 2008 MLB All-Star Week.

The Jeter Clutch was designed for and inspired by Derek, is dubbed a high performance athletic shoe. What do you think? I like the simplicity of it. The dark gray with black and white trim combination is very subtle. Nothing too extravagant aesthetic wise which is common in celebrity/athletes inspired sneakers these days.
