"FacebookPinterest\n\nHere, a first look at Nom de Guerre's sharp new spin on the classic Converse Skid Grip CVO. The sneaker, which Converse debuted in the early '60s, caught on quickly with tennis and boating enthusiasts (who liked its no-slip soles), and later with the '80s surf and new-wave crowds (who dug its clean, logo-free look). Nom de Guerre's updated version, which comes in jet-black and is made from an edgier-looking, rubberized cotton canvas fabric, plays up the shoe's subcultural pedigree\u2014and, we think, would look equally cool worn with dark straight-leg jeans or sockless with a pair of khakis. Mark your calendars for Friday, when the sneakers hit Nom de Guerre's website and standalone N.Y.C. store.\n\n_$95; available this Friday, August 30, at Nom de Guerre in New York (640 Broadway,\n\n at Bleecker Street; 212-253-2891), and online at NomdeGuerre.net_"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
