The custom Air Force Ones feature a spiffy Digg color scheme, and a cool glow-in-the-dark “Digg” pattern. I produced 5 pairs of Limited Edition sneakers for the Digg staff and 1 pair for myself.
The founder of Digg, Kevin Rose, and CEO Jay Adelson were gracious enough to sign my pair:

George Barris has officially gone batty. While he is one of the men generally acknowledged for creating the original Batmobile, he hasn't shown anything with those trademark wings since Joel Schumacher almost ruined the franchise. And then we passed this in the North Hall at SEMA today. Maybe it was Catwoman standing next to it, but the Batsmart instantly takes us back with those trademark high-mounted rear wings, a rear jet exhaust, roof-mounted flutes and vertical doors. We don't have many details, but we really don't need them. Just look at it – it's a smart fortwo wearing a Batmobile costume for Halloween!
Maybe gas has risen to $11 a gallon in Gotham and this is the best Bruce Wayne can do. Who knows? We've actually heard that 40 lucky Bat fans will be able to get their hands on one of these in the near future. The standard package won't include the roof flutes or rear chutes and exhaust, but they will be available options. Keep your eye on smart42parts.com website for updates. Meanwhile, we don't think our modern day Caped Crusader has any plans to replace his Tumbler with this toddler.
The Doors Revolutionary in both sound and lyrics, embodying a spirit of rebellion and joy, The Doors helped usher in a new musical era. Challenging convention at every turn, legendary frontman and poet Jim Morrison turned every performance into an unforgettable ritual – while keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer John Densmore forged a mind-altering blend of rock, blues, jazz, latin groove and experimental sonics. After The Doors, nothing would ever be quite the same. They charted a new path for modern music, and scores of imitators would follow in their footsteps. In honor of the band’s extraordinary legacy, Converse will debut a new collection of Chuck Taylor® All Star® shoes. The song “The Unknown Soldier” inspired the military-style, high-top shoe with combat-fatigue detailing and black soles. With the lyric “It’s all over” emblazoned on its outer heel, it’s a wearable work of art with real graphic power. A comfort-pack footbed and other premium details give it added comfort and a premium look and feel. Adding psychedelic flair to daily wear, The Doors’ classic logo is subtly embossed in glossy detailing over a monochrome black, leather high-top version. In addition, a white low-top version features the logo in a unique print that blends the canvas and rubber side-wall into one. The Chuck Taylor® All Star® high-top shoe is available in vineyard green/black canvas or black/black leather. An oxford version is available in white/black canvas. Shoes in this collection retail for MSRP $50 - $150 and will be available nationwide in Journeys stores and Journeys.com beginning in November.
Black Sabbath Inspired by the Black Sabbath metal anthem Iron Man, these Chuck TaylorÆ All StarÆ high top shoes have hard-core details that shout individuality. A tribute to the sound that, in the 1970s emerged and changed the music landscape forever, these shoes feature smooth, monochrome black leather uppers with metallic detailing and Sabbath-signature purple accented linings. Metalwork and hardcore buckles combined with rich black leathers give the Jack PurcellÆ shoe version an especially industrial look and extreme attitude. Prints on the Chuck Taylor All Star shoe versions showcase iconic Black Sabbath artwork. The Jack Purcell shoe is available in parchment/black canvas. †The Chuck Taylor All Star shoes come in high top black/white, black/white/gold and parchment/black canvas. Shoes in this collection retail for MSRP $50 - $100 and will be available in Journeys stores and Journeys.com beginning in October.
