One can’t imagine what sort of memorabilia and products are associated with a brand with 100 years of history like Converse. As 2008 marks their centennial year, Converse’s New York office has been transformed into a time capsule as eras along the way are documented via pictures and Converse artifacts. Although there’s little chance to ever hit up the Converse office, the mini-exhibition is interesting nonetheless.

DJ Clark Kent is giving away some very exclusive sneakers this Saturday, June 8th. There will be 3 different styles given, and they are all part of a “ONE’s” pack called “The 112 Pack”, designed by DJ Clark Kent himself. However, there are 2 catches: first, you must buy the matching t-shirt; and second, you must fit the shoes. The giveaway starts at 11 am, so you better get there quick since these are never-before-seen sneakers that won’t be released to the public until July.
