Good things come from Converse. They created the first basketball sneaker, continue to sell one of the most classic, simple, recognizable sneaker’s on the market and John Varvatos designs for them- enough said.

We couldn’t think they could possibly get any better, but fortunately for us, they proved us wrong. Converse has come out with their second “Three Artists, One song” collaboration The first, in 2008, brought us “My Drive Thru,” an upbeat, instant hit by Pharrell Williams, Santogold, and Julian Casablancas. This summer the killer trio of Kid Cudi, Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend) and Bethany Cosentino (Best Coast) have come together to bring us “All Summer.” The track is light, airy and will instantly become your summer 2010 theme song.

The above video exemplifies the fun you should be having while listening to “All Summer.” Chill with friends in a quaint little country house, don’t worry about a thing and, most importantly, wear huge masks of your own face. Just your typical summer day.

“All Summer” is produced by Batmanglij. Download it HERE.
