It’s hard to deny the fact that the Chuck Taylor All-Star has been one of the most popular lifestyle shoes ever since its release in 1917. However, when it comes to functionality and durability, the canvas material falls short of protection against harsh weather conditions.

Although we’ve recommended snagging a pair of rubber shoes the new Converse waterproof Nubuck boots are a fashionable alternative that feature water-resistant Nubuck leather, insanely comfortable inner booties, and a rugged, vulcanized rubber outsole.

The Chuck Taylor All-Star saw a winterized transformation in 2016, but this year’s revamped Nubuck creations are stupidly stylish, boasting four infatuating fall colorways. If you’re looking to add some flare to your fall wardrobe, one of our favorites in the collection is drenched in a stunning autumnal hue of dark red. This color is not only pleasing to the eye, it matches well with other earth-toned colors.

The all-black silhouette is an easy grab to complement anything in your wardrobe, especially with your daily get-ups to the office. Besides, all-black always looks steezy in cold weather.

Then we have a gray and a tan pair with white rubber soles to round the collection out with some two-toned, trendy tenacity. The two colors really radiate the traditional Converse All-Star look, even down to an unmistakable, branded ankle patch.

Converse Nubuck boots are available now for $120. Peep the other weather-resistant pieces in the Counter Climate collection while you’re there.

Nothing celebrates New York culture more than its rich baseball history. Between the Yankees and Mets, New York is home to many iconic moments in the sport’s history. Along with Japanese retailer, The Apartment Tokyo, New Balance is releasing a new sneaker that honors both teams and the city.

The Apartment Tokyo x New Balance 610 GTX “Subway Series”

Nicknamed “Subway Series” after this iconic baseball rivalry, the latest collaborative sneaker from New Balance is all about comfort, style, and history. Using the New Balance 610 GTX as a base, this shoe is crafted using a navy blue and grey-blue mesh base with synthetic overlays, symbolizing the historic Yankees team. On the other hand, bold orange accents on the toe, outsole, and midsole help bring in some of the Mets’ recognizable hues. Those looking for boldness and color will find a unique zig-zag pattern featured on the sneaker’s heel that blends navy blue, steel blue, and orange. Not to be forgotten is New Balance’s “N” logo which dons a crisp white tone. While not overtly obvious, the subtle nod to this famed baseball rivalry is a must-have for New York fans.
