Not on the team page. Looks like he was replaced with Kaue Cossa.

Kaue has been fully on Converse for more than a year, so I don't think him being on has any relation to Kenny's status.

The converse skate program has been through so many changes since it's started. I think Sammy Baca is the only original team member left.

Good. Fuck Kenny. Kaue is way more interesting and deserving anyway.

If true, do you reckon it had anything to do with the allegations or was it just that his contract was up etc etc ?

I thought they'd try and keep KA as a legacy pro (pre allegations) since JJ was outted as a nazi anyway, which kinda makes me think it had something to do with it.. what do I know though

I couldn’t give less of a shit about what Converse does, but I found a pair of mint Pappalardo’s at a thrift shop in my size not too long ago and this thread gave me a reason to bring that up, be it contrived or not

Not really surprised they either didn't renew his contract or kicked him off. A bit surprised they never kicked off Delatorre, given what he was involved in was arguably more controversial and known.

I think the original team for the official Cons launch was only Pops, Trapasso, Baca, Fowler, and Molinar. Kenny and Rune were on a little after. Anyone else remember that intro ad with sketches of their silhouettes?

He was there at Black Rock during the Jesse Viera Security Guard incident.  I didn’t watch the video so I don’t recall his involvement

It’s his board that gets taken, and he’s the first one to start grabbing it back.

Don’t know why this guy ever got a pass for using skatepark clips in his parts.

These shoes are hideous but so far the only model in history to address the ugly ripping and wear that happens on the outside collar of the shoe. Can't decide if the rubber bumper they added is actually worse then the problem they're trying to solve.
