Back in ’50s and ’60s, just about every player in the NBA laced up the Converse Chuck Taylor<\/strong>. It was the shoe of choice for generations, as synonymous with basketball during that time as afros in the ’70s. Julius “Dr. J” Erving<\/strong> owned one of the meanest afros.\u00a0He, however, played in the Converse Pro Leather<\/strong>. Yet all his idols who won scoring titles and rings did so in the Chuck.<\/p>\n “I know in my first look at basketball on TV, I saw my favorite players wearing Chuck Taylors. That was the shoe to get,” Erving reminisced. And now that Converse, a subsidiary of Nike, is back in bed with the NBA, they’re releasing an expansive collection with over 250 styles to honor their renewed partnership with the league.<\/p>\n The Converse x NBA Collection<\/strong> represents all 30 NBA teams through three distinct NBA Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars: Gameday, Legend, and Franchise. The offering will also feature an apparel range that highlights a bomber jacket, coaches jacket, long sleeve tee, and joggers.<\/p>\n Expect the new collection on September 29 at Converse.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Back in ’50s and ’60s, just about every player in the NBA laced up the Converse Chuck Taylor.
