King of the Road is back again - presented by Thrasher Magazine, the skateboard competition that begun in 2003 made a welcome return in 2010 after two years of absence. King of the Road 2010 began in October of last year, where four teams of pro skaters from Converse, Circa, Nike and Etnies travelled around the US for two weeks completing a book of challenges and as many goals as they could manage along their way.



Lucky for you, Thrasher Magazine made the bold decision to embrace the digital overlord's rule and has released 2010's King of the Road in a series of online webisodes. Click here to check out the latest episode where the Converse team turns its attention to Las Vegas. Watch Sammy Baca perform frontside grinds in backyard pools, girls attempt ollies and Kenny Anderson execute the most combos on one ledge.

For three weeks in April of 2010 the skateboarding likes of Jack Sabback, Jake Johnson, Clint Peterson, Joey Pepper, Raymond Molinar, Kenny Anderson and Adelmo Juninho, travelled to the extremities of the Amazon region in Brazil. O Encontro Dos Rios literally means 'meeting of the rivers' the area where the Rio Negro and the Rio Salimoes rivers meet. Running side-by-side for miles without mixing, where they actually do start to merge, the Amazon River forms.

In recognition of World AIDS Day, we've teamed up with Chicago-based artist Cody Hudson to bring you the latest Paint the Town (Red) collaboration.

The limited edition Cody Hudson x Converse (Red) Chuck Taylor All-Star features a premium leather upper with unique embossing on the side and tongue. Deep brown leather is contrasted with blue toecap, red/blue laces and blue lining, giving the artists interpretation of the Chuck Taylor an Americana look.

Cody Hudson founded Struggle Inc, a commercial art house based in Chicago. It's known for the production of clean, multi-dimensional graphics and design aesthetics that are part, urban modernism and part, organic visual deconstruction. Hudson's work has travelled the world including the U.S, Europe and Japan.

Proceeds from the limited edition shoe go to (RED) for large-scale prevention, treatment and care programs for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in Africa.

December 1^st is not only World AIDS Day and the day you put up your Christmas tree, but also the day Hype DC releases 12 pairs of these at their Sydney store in Pitt Street Mall.
