Sorry, but we’re completely sold out of these. You might not be able to get them anywhere anymore unless you look really hard really fast. Converse.com might have some, and I saw some at Bloomingdale’s the other day. We do have several other similar styles in stock that are just as sweet.

More basketball talk from Senator Barack Obama on Philadelphia’s AM610 WIP radio sports talk show:

Black Fives Museum Cubes are available at many prestigious locations, but few that are more stately than the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.

More on Converse and Black Fives in the Knoxville News Sentinel, which features the Black Fives Century Premium Pack.

It’s kinda cool to get linked on overseas blogs like this one and this one.

Black Fives is the featured site this month at OneHistory.org, the Chicago-based history website that focuses on all cultures. It’s an honor to be there.

Have a great weekend! Thank you.
