A closer look at what I believe is Sablone’s pro shoe.

[close]

Looks like a Fastbreak low

[close]

Any one have a screen grab? Big fast break head over here.

[close]

They look more like an erx low with a Jordan 1 toe shape but I'm really looking forward to them

[close]

Looks like a Fastbreak Low with a couple added suede panels. To me the shoe looks too busy and like a dunkalike. Better off just making a Fastbreak Low without the nylon materials.

[close]

I heard it was influenced by Chany Jeanguenin’s Cons shoe.

Damn, helium is not as in big of supply as it was in the turn of the millennium

Oh, I meant Louie's shoes are the start of this wave of pro models. It seems like they go in waves with a few years in between. First, it was Pops and Rune. Then, Trapasso and Kenny Anderson. Now, Louie and Alexis and hopefully Jake.

[close]

Was there a Rune shoe?   I’m curious what that looked like.  I ageee also that Jake likely has the selling power to merit a pro model, but wasn’t he a big weapon skater?   Feels like alexis’ would be similar to what I’d imagine his would be

[close]

Rune actually had maybe 3 shoes which is insane as basically nobody remembers any of them even existing. All of them looked like some slight variation of an existing cons shoe you could get from a department store or something.

[close]

i remember these, i really wanted a pair but back then cons were very hard to find. pretty much a star player mid top, his other shoes were nowhere as nice.

[close]

What I would do to get some old cons like that, the new cons look like shit and have had basically the same models for years, im so over looking at one stars, bring back the star players and pro leather (not the new model they have but the older ones from 2008)

agreed, old cons were cooler. The one star pro's suck. Their current offerings don't do it for me. I loved this era

You gotta find some top views if you want to remember the reality. Unfortunately for me I couldnt wear any cons from this time (or thought I couldn't maybe if I kept some pairs I'd like them now) but I remember them being very narrow while also very long. So you get the right length and they're not wide enough to even get my foot in. Get the right width and their like four sizes too long.

Did the vans mike Carroll reissue ever end up coming out?

[close]

Coming out later this year I think, not sure!

Re: Converse, Jake had that cool beluga colourway of the...Purcells? @doublesteveburger I think you had a pair. They looked great and I'm pretty sure they sold out quick. Based on how well that did, a pro shoe seems like a good idea.

If Converse regularly stocks the red/white/gum and green/white/gum Fastbreak Mids, that's all I could ask for.

There’s still like 3 pairs of those Jakes at my shop

first trapasso shoe was one of the best shoes i ever had. pretty wide, perfect amount of padding(kinda thick but the shoe looked rather thin) great fit and excellent boardfeel and grip right out of the box. they held up a good while, too.

Cons CTS with the padded tongue are the best vulcs ever made, hands down.

[concerned_parent]

star player mid was awesome. idk what the heck this material was but it never ripped



pretty sure i had all three of these. the white ones were my favorite shoes for a loooooooong time

Yeah these all look like what I imagine scene kids wore back in the day.  I’m seeing a lot of black hair dye and lip piercings worn in conjunction

[doublesteveburger]

the black leather with the gold eyelets CTS were fucking amazing back in the day, think pops had an ad for them doing a backside nose grind through a planter ledge


hell, even the boat shoe molinar beat like a dead mikey taylor was a great skate shoe

That's what fallen was for. Or maybe some mall Osiris/DVS.

I had these. Not the best color but were $30 and lasted forever.

Maybe elsewhere, but in California it was def cons that looked like these in black with pink accents.

Osiris I equate more with the big bears at the gym who like the high top looking versions

I never really saw that many people wearing DVS after the big vato slipper craze died out, but there were more of a dirt bike ting

[Fartknocker415]

Idk where u from bro but I from Cali too and Def scene kids weren't wear skate cons. It was classic chucks all the way for them. With some sharpie drawings on the sole and maybe one neon green/pink lace and definitely beat to shit. Id say the scene kids probably bought more vans authentic / era than cons skate line

I had this shoe in my senior year of high school. I felt so stylish. Then I skated them, skated great. The perf leather. Gorgeous.

Also the memory foam tongue worked so well. High density but not too thick. Protected your foot super well.

[YeoWhattup]

It’s the tongue for me

If we're talking old Cons, the KA Ones are still one of the best shoes I've skated to this day. Perfect thin cupsole. I had two pairs in this colorway:



I probably wouldn't want to rock something with KA's name on it these days but goddamn were these a great shoe.

I loved the vulcs and feel the same way about KA.   Had a saved pair in my closet and by god they have a weird shape.   Long, pointy, but bulging in the middle.   Like an anaconda digesting a pig

agreed. I still have 2 pairs, but due to age the rubber is getting a little dried out and the glue is slightly weaker, but they're still comfortable and I'm sure they'd skate real well. Memory foam tongue should come back. I didn't dig the KA2 nearly as much as this one.

Dime x Merrell

Got a pair of Merrell's last year for hiking and they feel like walking on clouds.

[Watson]

Those Dime Merrells look like shit but I'm glad I'm not looking at nasty 2009 Cons anymore.

i love the mid brown suede all stars!  Never seen them.
The heel is little lower and more padded then the classic all star, where to buy - still available?
Woud buy immediately!

[Lukabrazi]

Dime x Merrell

yeah these are amazing. I rock a similar style Merrell boot pretty much everyday during the winter here. But they are more waterproof I assume then these?

[DarkPools]

Cons from 2008-2015 were sooo good! Padded chucks and fascinating silhouettes. Star Player S were some of the best vulcs out for its time. Way more interesting than the One Star and Chucks they stuck with. They're timeless (I get it and like them), but it would be nice for Cons to branch back out with their vulc designs and lean into Weapon/Fastbreak territory! Especially nowadays since it feels like they would do better now possibly.


Star Player
KA-1 & KA-2
Weapon
Trapasso
Poppalardo
The Rune
Other lesser known Cons vulcs you could find at department stores actually ruled at the time. There was some Vans Chukka imitator that was one of my favorites back in 2011 after skating some Star Players. Can't remember the name of find a photo right now.

Anyway, here's the Rune shoe. I had a pair in 2012. Pretty solid shoe, actually. Black/white and not offensive on the eyes

Dam that's possibly another rune shoe maybe he had 4 (depending on how you seperate them). That one looks to have a kind of faux vulc cupsole.

so how do we peer pressure converse into reviving a product line from over a decade ago?
