If you're a collector or Converse fan, you're in luck - a pair of extremely rare Walking Contradiction promotional Converse is up on eBay.

In 1996, Reprise Records' New England branch, WEA, partnered with Converse (then based in New England) to manufacture and release a limited number of promotional shoes in support of Green Day's new single, "Walking Contradiction." This song was the last single from 1995's Insomniac. The special-edition Converse weren't available for sale -- only to music business executives, radio DJs, and a select few others in the New England region.


This pair is brand new and a size UK 12 (US 13). The listing starts at £100 ($125) and ends on July 4 at 19:00 BST (11:00 PDT, 14:00 EDT).
