Ever get the crazy inkling to wear a little piece of Pink Floyd on your feet? How about yearning for a shoe that mimicks a straight jacket, inspired by Ozzy Osbourne? Don’t kid yourself – you have. You have and now you’re so able to with Converse’s hottie Brit Music Collabo Collection. It’s a mouthful, I know, I can completely sympathize as I type. Regardless of my ramblings, Converse has gone at getting a piece of rock history on your feet again. This collection celebrates bands that caused disruptions to the music scene, ones that have since become absolutely iconic. Here’s the breakdown of each (wikkiwikki-breakdown. Sorry. Nerding out. Check after the jump):

Pink Floyd
The Pink Floyd collection takes you through three crucial albums in the discography of one of the most visually and sonically distinct bands of all time that transcended generations. Graphics from the album and psychedelic masterpiece Dark Side of the Moon grace black Chuck Taylor All Star and Jack Purcell shoes with rainbow reflecting prisms and EKG lines accenting these stand-out sneakers. The album Animals is the inspiration for a spacey version of a Chuck Taylor All Star shoe with the Pink Floyd logo running up the heel stripe and the album’s famous imagery of a pig floating in the clouds on the shoe’s upper. The unsettling image of a flaming businessman shaking the hand of another from the album artwork of Wish You Were Here is screened onto the upper of a Chuck Taylor All Star shoe and is as arresting as the album itself. The shoe’s flip-side features the iconic image of a businessman on a sand dune holding a record album.

Ozzy Osbourne
As one of the key instigators of the Heavy Metal genre, Ozzy inspired generations of fist-pumping rockers. Osbourne’s career began with England’s pioneering Black Sabbath. He soon created his own enthralling brand of onstage madness that transformed him from an eccentric character into a musical icon. The high-top versions of the Chuck Taylor All Star shoes in this collection include Ozzy himself scrawled all over the upper in drawings representing an angel, the devil and is accented with the Ozzy logo emblazoned on the tongue. Shoes in this collection retail for MSRP $80-130 and will be available nationwide at specialty retailers beginning in March.

The Who
From their earliest mod genesis to their legendary on-stage angst, the images and iconography of The Who is a showcase of British rock in all its glory and the inspiration for The Who Converse Chuck Taylor All Star shoes in this collection. Featuring cool Britannia colors, the mod bulls-eye graphic and The Who logo make up a simple high and an oxford version of shoes that look like they are made for scooters and parkas. The Union Jack embraces the entire upper of a high-top version in a sneaker that would make any anglophile proud. And the iconic image of Pete Townshend cradling his guitar whilst in a rock-inspired leap quietly conveys all that is rock and roll. Shoes in this collection retail for MSRP $70-90 and will be available nationwide at specialty retailers beginning in March.
