Converse Skateboarding dives into its own archives with the launch of its latest pack, featuring three new iterations of the CX-PRO SK CD OX sneaker model. The three colorway options include either black, brown, or gold -- all of which fall under the brand's Active Heritage line for the Fall/Winter 2020 season.
The construction hits the spotlight as it is made from supple curduroy materials before being detailed with suede components and signature brand emblems to round it out. Each pair is complete with a suede tab on the lateral side to add support and protection when wearers are skateboarding. Rounding out the sneakers are a specially made gum outsole to deliver traction at the foundation.
