CONS is the skateboard line of shoe brand Converse. Although CONS was launched not long ago, 'regular' Converse shoes have been popular in the skate and street culture for a long time. In the 90s, shoes like the One Star and the low top All Star were already very popular among skaters. In 2009, Converse decided to capitalise on this popularity by releasing sturdier, skate-ready versions of existing models and by setting up its own skate team. The CONS skate team currently consists of 'ambassadors' like Kenny Anderson, Eli Reed, Zered Bassett, Louie Lopez, Ben Raemers, Mike Anderson and many more big names.
Functional shoes from Converse
The skate shoes CONS shoes keep the iconic look of the original shoes, but they are equipped with functional reinforcements and features. For example, the shoes have extra reinforcements on the places that have to endure the most during skating, and materials like CONS traction rubber are used to improve durability and grip. Besides that, many CONS trainers are equipped with Lunarlon cushioning, which you can also find in the skate shoes of Nike SB. If you are looking for classic, no-nonsense skate shoes and contemporary performance, then you should definitely check out the CONS collection!
