Converse cons one star mid. The Ben Raemers colorway. Never skated cons but I really like the look of the navy one star and it also is supporting a good cause. Anyone know the sizing for this specific model? I know converse tends to run large. I’m a 12 in pretty much everything else, should I go tts or try out an 11.5?
Thinking about trying an April board, I don't think I've tried a smaller WB ever but in my "peak" I skated 8" so it should be ok I guess.
