What happens when you take a Converse Chuck Taylor and stamp it with a Comme des Garcons’ logo? The classic gets a lot cooler. This month Converse will release four sneakers as part of its Comme des Garcons’ Play collection. The brand opened the archives up and went to work on a 1950s vintage Chuck Taylor All Star that was originally produced for those serving in the U.S military. The four-pack of sneakers consists of two high-top versions and two oxford versions and comes in both black and white. Look for the sneakers to launch at Comme des Garcons stores in New York, Paris, London, Hong Kong and Seoul for $100 a pop.

It’s made of smooth top-grain leather and has a gold zipper that runs on three sides with an interior featuring six transparent card slips and a card pouch.

We’ve been heralding the contrast-collar look (a.k.a. the “Gordon Gekko”) for a while now, but ever since the banks turned to shit, there’s been no better time to co-opt the style. We usually see the contrast collar in white over a blue shirt, but take it a step further with today’s Buy It Now, which features a dark-blue collar over a striped blue shirt. Made by Comme des Garçons (so you know it’s quality), the “Shirt Forever” is made in France and has a slim fit. For detail pics and Buy It Now info, see below…

Commes des Garçons is teaming up with Medicom Toy and Be@rbrick on a new set of jewelry, which looks dope (on the screen or a shelf). But lets get real. If some banging hot chick was wearing this and came up to you and freaked out on your new Air Max’s, you’d think it was awesome. Then you go out to dinner and you’re like, “Holy crap, this chick likes everything that I do!”. And then you go back to your place and things keep getting awesome, until you try hooking up with her, but she won’t stop talking about who her favorite skateboarder is, who Pharrell is in the studio with, whether or not you think Chris Brown actually beat up Rihanna, if you think Lohan stole those jewels, what’s your favorite New Era? And then you realize that you have to stop worrying about some of this crap. [High Snobiety]
