So are Cons the new Stefan shoe? Every promo, clip, etc. all have at least one dude wearing some Cons, when did this start?

And...why isn't Vincent Alvarez on Cons? Dude would kill it over there with Kenny Anderson and Nick Trapasso.

cons is sick. But for just wearing i prefer regular chucks.

plod · « **Reply #4 on:** May 04, 2011, 11:22:38 PM »

im wearing the cts to chill but i don't think i could skate in them with the rubber toe unless i went half a size up.
i don't like the Stefan shoe.
Last week at the skatepark, every single person except for me was waring the stefan shoe.

absolutely everyone.

I thought that was sort of lame.

I'm currently skating a pair of kenny Anderson star players and they are seriously the best shoes I've ever skated.

I have found that after a couple days of skating they turn into wet socks.....

ive been seeing them alot more recently, but thats because at my local shop most shoes are going for £40-£70 and theyve just started stocking cons with the cts going for about £25, so it might be a money thing

hell yea i just picked up a pair of those! skated em for the first time yesterday, feels like a skate boot almost with the toe cap haha. i heard they last for a while, super good shoe- im stoked on the memory foam soles.. the star players are not cons tho.. they are "converse".. same company but cons is strictly their sb tier and only sold to skate shops. had the cts ox lo's before these and that is an amazing shoe while it lasted. cons seems to know watsup wen it comes to skate shoes but then again they are owned by nike so why wouldnt they.

Omamori · « **Reply #15 on:** May 05, 2011, 11:32:55 AM »

I never liked how Conversed looked, until the Cons CTS came out. The suede replacing the rubber in the front and extra padding looks better imo. I might get a pair in the future.

Hexagon · « **Reply #16 on:** May 06, 2011, 04:03:51 AM »

They look o.k. but I can't justify 50+ bucks for them, being they last as long as a sandwich does around a fat kid. I always am able to find vans second hand at re-sale/thrift shops for super cheap or ebay. Anything over 40 bucks is too extravagant for my broke ass these days.

violentpizza · « **Reply #17 on:** May 06, 2011, 11:58:00 AM »

Vans are the least durable shoe around, except for lakai. Buying second hand vans makes no sense to me.

skateohio · « **Reply #18 on:** May 09, 2011, 06:49:28 AM »

the star players are super durable.. ive noticed the cts canvas mids and the cts ox that have a short life, but the cts ox ur still getting a month at least..

they gota b hookin up a lot of homies, seems like someone new is wearin them everyday..

Rune been had Cons.

TwisT · « **Reply #20 on:** May 10, 2011, 06:42:57 PM »

i've had 3 pairs of cons(and some seastars i bought to avoid dress shoes) . the uppers all out lasted the sole suede and leather. they skate good. they always seem to be on sale somewhere...and i think they look cool.
