Converse basketball sneakers were first introduced in 1917 and have maintained a somewhat familiar look since, so the Converse All Star Pro BB Sneaker has been created to offer athletes a new option to don on the court.
The sneakers were created in collaboration with Nike innovator Eric Avar and feature a distinctly modern aesthetic that is focused on enhanced comfort. The sneakers are crafted with an upper section that is made from a single layer of Nike Quadfit mesh that helps them to move with the wearer without messing with the silhouette.
The Converse All Star Pro BB Sneaker also boasts a Nike React foam core to provide cushioning that is also responsive to movements. Priced at $140, the sneakers will launch this May.
