?It?s flattering that the Converse Pro Leather shoe, one that has preceded so many other signature shoes, is so widely recognized as the ?Dr. J?. I have so many memories wearing this shoe and am honored that it has stood the test of time and continues to live on,? – Julius Erving.
Today, Converse First String re-released the timeless, iconic Dr. J Pro Leather in its original, White/Navy color scheme. To coincide with this release, we pulled out one of the jewels from our vault, a Converse First String Dr. J Pro Leather autographed by Dr. Julius Erving himself.
The Converse First String Dr. J Pro Leather made its debut in 1976 and features a rich, buttery soft white leather on the majority of its upper. Navy hints, such as the Chevron logo, the heel tab and the inner lining, provide nice contrast. Converse released only 168 pairs today, for $90 apiece.
