The Varvatos work with Converse, by some people’s theories, looked to have been a short relationship. Truth of the matter is the line actually gets better by the season. These Pro Leather sneakers from the Autumn/Winter 2011 collection come in in low dark olive or dark brown on the high-top. Waxed suede uppers finish them nicely. Por Vocacao has them.

John Varvatos works over the classic wayfarer sunglass form for a special limited edition run fo the shades. They come laser engraved and feature skull and bullet hits… if you’re into that. A good unique look, but be sure you can pull these off. They’ll set you back $420.

Converse deliver these stunners. The Star Tech high tops are all hand-made (which accounts for the pricepoint). The supple black leather works incredibly well against the sole and leather laces. A very premium pair of Converse, more than likely made in Italy as part of the Converse Saks series. Get them direct from Varvatos online.

Here’s a look at the newest collection from John Varvatos. You should know about Varvatos and his brand of rockstar chic by now and if not, where have you been? This collection carries on that feel, being more laid back than something that’s exceedingly laid back. Like a sloth on weed, if you will.

Take a leap to see the rest of the collection.

Though we’re partial to Ronnie Fieg’s leather versions, there is no denying that John Varvatos’ talk on the Converse Star Player EV has appeal. In heavy twill, the Varvatos versions come in navy, white, gray, and red. The traditional Chevron logo appears in contrasting color and the rubber outsole and toe units are given a vintage look. Consider the Converse by John Varvatos Star Player just another great Spring option from a sneaker brand with undeniable heritage.

Available direct from Converse.
