Converse Tavern Shoe Release in Ybor on Friday

This Friday at 6pm in Ybor, Converse is releasing a CTS colorway inspired by the oldest tavern in North America. This also happened to be George Washington’s favorite pub. Legend states the seeds of Revolution were planted over pints here. Only 50 shops in North America are getting these and we're lucky enough to have SPoT Ybor being a part of it. Each shoe will also come with pint glass to tie back to and thoroughly enjoy St Patty’s in style. From 6 to 8pm at The Bricks next door, you get free beer with this glass. See you in Ybor on Friday, March 15!

The Line Starts Here

Looks like the line started last night for the release of the SPoT X Lance Mountain 20 Year Dunk Low. I'll do my best to keep you updated on Twitter with the line and whether or not we think we have enough shoes for everyone to get a pair as the line grows. After lunch today, we'll pick the top 20 finalists from our #SPoT20YearDunk Contest on Instagram.
