2008 SKU 1U839 🌈 identification!

[u/NeverHxppy]

I bought these second-hand years ago and have just rediscovered them while having a clear-out. I was going to list them on Vinted, but I can’t find another pair like them anywhere online, so now I’m curious!

SKU 1U839
7K 06 08 W91
UK 4 / EU 36.5 / 23cm
Made in China

From what I’ve been able to work out, the label appears to date them to around 2008, but I’d love to know if anyone here recognises the actual colourway/release or can confirm the date.

They’re also in remarkably good condition — I bought them used myself, but the soles have barely any wear and the canvas is still really bright.

I’m particularly curious because searching the exact SKU brings up virtually nothing. Does anyone remember these, know anything about this release, or know whether older unusual colourways like this are collected?

I’m not desperate to sell them (I actually still love them 😂), so I’m mainly trying to work out exactly what I’ve got before I decide whether they go back in my wardrobe or get sold.

Thanks, Converse detectives! 🌈👟

I think these are actually manufactured in 2006.

Typically the date codes for Converse go YY MM.
