One Stars? Not sure, hope you find em. If I'm right they have the same sole as Chuck Taylors, so they might not be the best...

Definitely Mariano, I have that Converse ad. I think Tom Penny was wearing a pair when he b/s nollie flipped the Meanwhile 2 gap (not to say that he was riding for them though).

Nah, one stars just had a star on the side.  These ones had the star with the little arrow thing beside it (different shape and everything too).

I remember a Converse ad with Guy doing a crook on a bar, not like a rail, but like the place you get drinks.

they come in blue or brown right? i think they may be discontinued... i could be wrong though because converse always has weird ass names for their shoes and maybe i just cant remember the name. i had a pair about 2 years ago and thought one stars were better, better shaped toe and one stars have this really good insole that those shoes dont have.

Guy did ride for them briefly. It was suppose to be me and guy and a few others. Someone was hating hard on me though.

the funny shit is... they gave Felix a shoe???

I really don't remember why I put down Richard, but I can see him skating some for some reason... They seemed to have a great team, minus Felix.

We called them Dr. J's or pros, but they were later renamed EV pro's.  EV pro's had a thicker sole and looked shittier.  Dr. J's also came in a mid-top version. I'm pretty sure that they don't make them anymore, at least not the suede version, but I bet that they will reissue them now that converse is owned by Nike, who makes a good portion of their profit by milking ancient designs i.e. the dunk.  Here are some pics:

I think they even had a division called 'skate stars' or something, kind of like NIke SB. Some of them shoes were actually not too bad.
