Maybe better for the controversial opinion thread but of all the big brands to come into skating Cons has done the absolute least they can do to stay afloat. They don't really release any useful tech updates to their shoes or much that is relevant for skating. There is no reason they couldn't build upon Lunarlon or do what NB is doing with the internal structure of their thinner vulcs. They have the money, but would rather churn out the same old shit to use the image to boost the appeal of their staples.


You don’t remember when they added HELIUM to their shoes in the early 00s

Even the boat shoe looked sick. Raymond Molinar made that shoe look so good.

Crazy the only dude still on CONS in that squad is Baca. Everyone else ate their own balls or poop or whatever.

I feel like they were definitely coasting on their post-cherry popularity for years. The Chuck Taylor/CTAS was so big for a long time that they didn't really need to do a whole lot. Of course, there's other factors that made them popular enough to not put in a lot of effort into their shoes, like their A-list team or Purple coming out, but the Chuck Taylor/CTAS isn't the same hot commodity that it used to be.

If it were a small brand, I think they’d be doing things right in terms of 4-5 anchor shoes that you can evolve into mids/etc and basically stay out of the new colorways every month model.   

Cons has its people and those who love their staples like the CTAS are going to kee buying those regardless

Does he deserve one?   Sure.   
Are customers clamoring for one?   Unsure. 

They should strike while the irons hot and treat Hoban like the new Foy and give him a shoe

I think everything Converse is doing ist just marketing to sell more Chuck Taylor, also Nike only bought in - to have that best selling / cheapest in production sneaker in the porfolio. They dont care about the rest.
I woud like to see some Fastbreak Pro Mid in a simple all black /white, full suede color way in my skateshop.

If Emerica drops a boat shoe before Converse and the Star Player. I’m going to be confused.

That's what I'm saying tho- if they actually gave a shit they'd keep a more durable cup in their lineup and maybe have another shoe like a Louie which has a pretty classic design but provides a bit more than a paper thin shoe designed when segregation was still a thing. They definitely have the capacity to do so. Huf was basically what Cons could be.

CONS was on point when they were using Lunarlon, then it all went to shit after they switched to Zoom Air. Went from a ton of models to barely any and performance got way worse.

Loved my Lunarlon One Star Pros, skated pretty much only both the low and mid when those were available.

Favorite colorway.

The other thing about cons that sucks is it’s so hard to find some of the better shoes, I can never find a pair of fast breaks, they look so good but whenever I see them they are sold out, and they released a delatorre colorway for the ctas mid, but I haven’t seen anyone selling them, like what’s good?

i mean nike's owned converse since 2003 so i feel like if they were gonna ramp down programs it would've been a while ago
Look I'm not selling anything that doesn't have my jizz on it. I don't care how much is offered.

These look like 4ce shoes. That said, I don't hate them.

If they didn't have the weird toe with the panels splitting in the middle I'd be down. I feel like the look down factor will be ass, but I appreciate the hidden laces and the sole

Nike acquired Converse 20 years ago after Converse had already been out of business for a few years. Neither brand had anything to do with skateboarding at that time.

I really like those soles. Not so much the colorways. They kinda of give off childrens toy vibes. Also wish they were a true lace up. I love weird techy shit though. Those soles on even an Manteca upper would be so sick
