Converse '11 Launch Party NYC
Last sundown, Converse hosted the official launch party for the DEFCON and Pro Leather 2K11 , the latest of the assemblage’s performance basketball shoe line, at Cedar Lake Studios in New York Bishopric. There to rep the brand were Lou Williams, Kyle Korver, Chris “Birdman” Andersen and members of the Converse lay out team. Host Bobbito Garcia lobbed questions at the athletes and designers before kicking off a DJ set to get the reception started.
Among the notable moments from the presentation: Korver saying he loves the shoes and “optimistically I get to wear them this year,” Williams’ access that he’ll go through 40-plus pairs of different-styled shoes per available and Birdman’s demand for $100 per media interview (“I’m not getting a paycheck ethical now!”). Somewhere in between the shoes and the booze, SLAM sat down with each of the players to discuss Converse, the lockout and more.

Well, his wife, anyway.
