With little fanfare, right under the noses of thousands of Comic-Con attendees, DC Comics, in partnership with Converse, announced the creation of five unique designs. (Literally. Most of the DC booth staffers were wearing the new designs last weekend.)
Available in September from Journeys, the line will feature five different designs based on the iconic Chuck Taylor All Star Hi-Top.
Journeys also offers an All Star shoe with a generic comics design.
For those who prefer a more light-hearted, youthful design, Converse has partnered with Dr. Seuss Enterprises and offers Seuss-inspired designs for both children and adults!

You tricked me!!
In brightest day, in blackest night,
Go far and wide to spread the news.
Let those who worship evil’s might,
beware my power, Green Lantern’s shoes!
If only Converse made shoes shaped like human feet, that would fit me!
At Comic-Con wouldn’t it have been better if DC put these new shoes on the feet of their fans? After all, they will be the ones buying them.
Unless you had signs to make people visiting the DC Comics booth to look down, isn’t wearing them in hopes that people will notice them a waste of time?
I’ve seen the Batman and now the Green Lantern designs. Of course there will be Superman and there better be two more: Wonder Woman and The Flash. And we know which one will sell the best.
Oh, Torsten. You tease, you rapscallion, you.
Dammit… I’ve just bought some new Converse Chuck Ts and All Stars. Dunno why, but I’ve been on a kick for them. And now they announce DC ones… damn.. tempting..
