The Kenny Anderson LA to Vegas mini film celebrates the launch of the professional skateboarder and iconic Converse shoe designer's newest pro shoe, the KA-ONE. The skateboarder chronicles an epic journey from his current home in Los Angeles to Vegas, which is his hometown.
FreshnGood says, "On the journey, he passes by iconic landmarks like Cherry Park in Long Beach, the L.A. River, the 405, and the desert, before he hits the Vegas strip and finally his old neighborhood." Along the way, he is joined by many friends and fellow skaters who have influenced him and his skating career and helped him get to where he is today. The distance between LA and Vegas is not a short nor an easy one to skate, and the video which chronicles this epic homecoming journey symbolizes his return to Converse, the brand where it all started for Anderson.
