CONS Holiday 09' Collection..
Converse offers a preview into their forthcoming Holiday 2009 CONS collection. If you’re not familiar with the line, CONS revamped some of their classic styles into functional skate sneakers with tech such as memory foam tongues, cushioned heel collars and a thicker insole. Pictured above are a black and cranberry Pro Leather with a perforated heel panel; and a new grey CTS (Chuck Taylor Skate) done in suede – right down to the toe cap. The latest drop also includes black CTS mid with red accents. All great simple looks that work well whether or not you actually skate ‘em. All three styles should be hitting retail late next week.

TimberLand x Wyclef Jean EarthKeepers Boots
Just moments ago, Grammy Award-winning musician Wyclef Jean announced a new partnership with footwear maker Timberland at a private concert here in New York City. The event, opened by an interview with urban environmentalist Majora Carter, founder of Sustainable South Bronx, highlighted the need for preserving and protecting the environment in all different settings. The event also introduced the Yéle Haiti Product Collaboration for Timberland Earthkeepers label, a 16-boot footwear collection devised by Timberland and Wyclef Jean. For every footwear within the collaboration sold, a contribution of $2 will be going to Yéle Haiti Foundation, a grassroots movement founded by Wyclef Jean, to support reforestation in his home country Haiti. All models within the collection were designed to be eco-conscious, constructed with only recycled and organic materials. In addition, a special “Tree” t-shirts, designed by Haitian art students from the FOSAJ Art School, will be sold at Timberland retail stores worldwide and its online store. Similar to the footwear, for each tee sold, $1 will go to the Yéle Haiti Foundation to support reforestation and art programs in Haiti.
