July 26, 2010: Superman Featured on New Converse Shoes

by Neil Cole

Converse has joined forces with DC Comics to unveil a new line of shoes featuring Superman, Batman and Green Lantern. The shoes made their debut at the recent San Diego Comic-Con and were worn by crew members who worked the DC Comics booth during the convention.

"Part of a promotional effort with our friends at Converse, the shoes merge two of my favorite things - a pair of snazzy Chuck Taylor's and comics," said Alex Segura, who runs DC's The Source blog. "Don't take my word for it, though. Our very own James Robinson was among the creators showing off his new kicks at a signing hosted by Converse at the Horton Plaza Journeys store in San Diego yesterday."

The shoes are available at any Journeys store or online.
