This performance-based runner features an overlayed mesh upper with a Lunarlon cushioned sole for a fit unlike any other. Featured in tones of team red and black pine, this pair doesn’t take a backseat in terms of appearance either.

Just want to buy a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor – Reform right now? Converse Chuck Taylor – Reform.

The Chuck Taylor is best known with its canvas upper over a vulcanized rubber sole. This composition of matters is now well-established since the shoe was introduced, and has made the milestone that ran through decades. Although it is more on the casual side, this silhouette has garnered thumbs up mostly from teenagers who are into rock style with a little bit of classic touch.

Today, this vintage silhouette makes a flip from the canvas form to the mesh type that’s willfully heading to the hot summer days. With the base design being utilized, the Converse Chuck Taylor finally made a reform embracing the all-mesh upper that comes in three colorways – black, white, and grey. Each pair owns a transparent All Star logo on the heel side.

When you love the combination of black and yellow, white and green, or grey and blue, there is no doubt that one of these pairs will become a good pick.

This week had an interesting array of sneakers. We received our first look at the Nike Zoom Kobe VII Elite, prepared everyone for the Ronnie Fieg x ASICS GT II “Rose Gold” release and marveled at some custom Bespoke Nike Air Force 1s. Nevertheless, as it usually happens, our staff picks this week are very diverse. Click through and check out our staff picks for the first week of March 2012.

Aesthetically, the Nike Zoom Kobe VI is the best of all Kobe’s low top signatures, but the Kobe VII is better performance-wise in my opinion. The Nike Zoom Kobe VII Elite seems to feature a combination of both. I’m ready to see this shoe in person.
