Look the best out on the track or the trail with the Number Nine & Converse Odessa. This shoe is a modern update of the 1980's Converse Odessa, with a few unique touches thrown in by Number Nine.
The Number Nine & Converse Odessa is wrapped in deer skin with a leather lining. The shoe also has an interesting way of lacing up, appearing to almost wrap itself over half of the laces. This sounds odd, but if you check out the pictures in the gallery above, it actually doesn't look bad at all. Deer skin on running shoes, keeping it classy on and off the track.
