Special edition Trè Cool Converse shoes

By Matt /Feb. 8, 2014 / Comments

~~It appears Converse has teamed up with Trè Cool and SJC Custom Drums to create a special edition high-top model of their famous Chuck Taylor shoes.~~

The shoe design features Trè's logo, the Green Day bunny, the trilogy "X", and the SJC Custom Drums logo. The design is very similar to Trè's new custom drum kit from SJC.

UPDATE: We've done a bit more research and found that these shoes were a one-off pair designed, customized, and given to Trè as part of a "welcome package" from SJC Drums. You can read more about the shoes from the guy who designed them here.
