Scooby Doo is easily one of the most iconic kid’s shows and it is still going on to this day. The adventures of Shaggy, Scooby, Fred, Velma, and Daphne never seem to get old and new generations of kids are constantly being exposed to the magnificent feeling of solving crimes. Needless to say, Scooby Doo is a pop-culture staple and there are numerous brands that have collaborated with the property. Now, Converse is adding its name to the list with two new colorways of the Converse Chuck 70.

As you can see from the photos below, there is a colorway modeled after The Mystery Machine and an offering that features the faces of the five characters. The Mystery Machine colorway has a teal upper with orange and yellow flowers patterns throughout. It stays true to the design from the actual show and if you have a nostalgic connection to the series, this pair is certainly a collector’s item. Meanwhile, the black and white pair is more modest although it still contains plenty of pop-culture value.

Both colorways are set to drop on Tuesday, June 16th for $100 USD. Let us know in the comments below whether or not you plan on copping.

After the death of George Floyd at the hands of police, numerous brands came out with statements in support of the black community and even sought to educate people of systemically racist power structures. Nike launched a ‘Don’t Do It” ad campaign which spoke out against racism but now they are making a statement in an even bigger way.

It is being reported that Nike will now pledge $40 million to the black community over the next four years. This $40 million will be split amongst Nike, Jordan Brand, and even Converse. President and CEO of Nike John Donahoe came out with a powerful statement as to why this contribution is so necessary.

“Systemic racism and the events that have unfolded across America over the past few weeks serve as an urgent reminder of the continued change needed in our society,” said Donahoe. “We know Black Lives Matter. We must educate ourselves more deeply on the issues faced by Black communities and understand the enormous suffering and senseless tragedy racial bigotry creates. The Nike Inc. family can always do more but will never stop striving to role model how a diverse company acts. We will continue our focus on being more representative of our consumers while doing our part in the communities we serve.”

With this latest donation in mind, we will surely be seeing even more pledges over the next few weeks. Hopefully, this all leads to real change.

Converse is one of the most legendary sneaker brands in the world and over the past couple of years, they have been trying to get back into the basketball space. They recently signed Kelly Oubre Jr. to their roster and now, Draymond Green is getting his very own deal. The deal was announced a couple of days ago and last night, Green got to debut the Converse G4 which is their latest basketball shoe constructed for the hardcourt.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green will reportedly leave Nike, a brand that he has repped since his days at Michigan State, to sign with Converse. As some of you may already know, Nike owns Converse, which means Draymond will still be under The Swoosh's umbrella as he helps usher in the new era of Converse Basketball.

Details of the deal have not yet been revealed, but Green will immediately become the face of Converse's on-court footwear, alongside Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre.

Saturday, Tyler, The Creator was in London to work with Converse’s Creative All-Star series, which offers classes to London’s youth. A fan, who would later post Tyler’s response on , asked about the chances of another Odd Future tape being made. Tyler was not optimistic, according to XXL.

“Nine times out of seven, no,” Tyler said. “I would be open to it, but I think everyone is kinda passed that. I think some people base it on nostalgia rather than like, ‘Would it actually be good?’ Like, we don’t always need a Bad Boys 5. Even though I like the last one. Nigga, it’s there, listen to it.”

“Honestly, the OF tapes weren’t that good,” Tyler continued. “It was just a fun time, but musically, it’s like, ‘Uh, coulda did better.’ But, for the time, it was tight. I think now…and I could probably figure it out. I don’t know if the styles will mesh much for a good cohesive thing. No niche like, ‘Oh, this is a good idea.’ Like an actually good thing. I don’t know if the styles would mesh much with everyone. But, who knows, this could change in six weeks.”

The last Odd Future tape was released in 2012. In the time since, the group’s members have all gone on to see success in their own solo careers.
