Converse unveils two new colorway options of the Proride SK OX sneaker model with a prominent split suede makeup across the upper. The most notable element of the shoe is the mismatched asymmetrical design and the two colorways make it stand out even more so.
The first option is a more muted black and brown tonal completion whereas the second colorway boasts hues of green and purple. The latest sneakers are made with fine textured suede materials that are detailed with smooth full-grain leather as the accents to add textural contrast. As a branding detail, there is a patch logo in black reading "Converse Skateboarding" at the top of the tongue that is accompanied by matching laces covering the forefoot.
