Implementing a black/gold color scheme, most recently spotted on his Kid Robot collaboration, SSUR develops this new pair of Converse Pro Leather 1976 in a simple two-tone makeup. Aside from sporting a premium suede upper, the kicks boast cracked leather eyelet paneling with gold shark teeth lace-locks adding a nice complimentary touch. Retailing for $90 USD, this new design will see a release in the coming weeks via the SSUR Store in NYC and select Converse First String accounts.

Following up on the heels of our recent feature highlighting Patta’s upcoming 5th anniversary project with music-group Le Le and Converse, we give you an in-depth look into the upcoming release slated for early next month. The two shoe pack features a Pro Leather 76, Chuck Taylor All Star and varsity jacket. Based on a 60′s version of the popular icon Chuck Taylor All Star, the shoe’s different stylings will soon become reserved only for special First-String Converse collaborations. Not to be outdone is the increasingly popular Pro Leather 76. Both styles possess a ying-yang approach with the upper of one shoe making up the liner of the other and vice-versa. The release scheme can be seen below as well as more info regarding the inspirations.

Patta x Le Le x Converse 5th Anniversary Pro Leather 76 / Chuck Taylor All Star

As Amsterdam’s favorite sneaker collective turns five, Patta joins with Converse to create a unique anniversary pack rooted in their mutual love for music, friends and classic street style. In true family-fashion, the collaborators teamed up with the quirky Amsterdam-based music trio Le Le to produce a 12-inch record with ”banging inner-city chic” tracks commemorating the anniversary.

With a nod toward street culture and Converse’s basketball history, the anniversary pack features a classic Varsity Jacket along with two of the brand’s most iconic silhouettes: the Chuck Taylor Hi and the Pro Leather 76.

Inspired by the iconic Letterman design, the Varsity jacket comes in burgundy corduroy with a reversible grey quilted fleece lining. The collegiate aesthetic of the jacket is lent to the two shoes in an “opposites attract” manner. The Pro Leather sports a deep burgundy corduroy upper with quilted grey lining while the Chuck is the polar opposite with a quilted suede upper and burgundy corduroy lining. The Chuck is an exclusive 60s vintage makeup with higher rands and a clean midsole without the usual pinstripe creating a more classic look. The anniversary launch also marks the first time this exclusive model airs in the streetwear community.

Rounding out the pack is the 12-inch Le Le record with two new tracks, “We Are Lay Lay” and “Slotmachine.” Inspired by a plethora of music styles – from Disco andElectro to cliché gangster rap – Le Le isn’t limited to just one genre and their unique party-sound fits perfectly to the collaboration. To commemorate the launch of the anniversary pack, Le Le will play two exclusive shows in Paris and Berlin.

The Converse X Patta X Le Le Anniversary Pack launches on September 5th, 2009 at Patta and will release shortly after at all top-tier Converse dealers. For more information, please visit www.teampatta.nl or www.converse.com.

The Converse Pro Leather 76 originally returned to Converse’s lifestyle roster in high-top form. However a recent release features the low-cut oxford style. Keeping a similar shape, the shoe comes in rather chunky with a nice texturized contrasting beige sole. Available in three styles over at VA.
