# Modernized Old-School Sneakers The Converse All Star Pro BB Sneaker is Made from Nike Quadfit Mesh By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2019-04-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-all-star-pro-bb-sneaker References: [uncrate](https://uncrate.com/converse-all-star-pro-bb-sneaker/) & [converse](https://www.converse.com/c/basketball) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Modernized Sneakers:** Incorporating new materials and technology, old-school sneakers are being updated to offer enhanced comfort and performance. - **Collaborative Design:** Increasing partnerships between brands like Converse and Nike result in innovative sneaker designs that combine the best of both worlds. - **Tech-infused Footwear:** The integration of advanced technologies, such as Nike React foam, is revolutionizing the functionality and feel of sneakers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Athletic Footwear:** The athletic footwear industry has an opportunity to innovate by incorporating new materials and technologies into classic sneaker designs. - **Sportswear:** Sportswear brands can capitalize on collaborative design partnerships to create unique sneakers that appeal to both athletes and fashion-conscious consumers. - **Material Science:** The field of material science can contribute to the development of advanced materials that offer improved comfort and performance in athletic footwear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Canvas Co-Branded Hi-Top Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-taylor-2.md) - [Modernized Lightweight Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weapon-plts-ox.md) - [Dazzling Crystal-Covered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-x-swarovski-chuck-70-de-luxe-squared.md) - [Collaborative Basketball Player High-Tops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shai-gilgeousalexander-x-converse-weapon.md) - [Breathable Waterproof High Tops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-star-ox.md) - [Basketball-Shaped Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-baller.md) - [Dynamic Fashion-Forward Basketball Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basketball-sneaker-1.md) - [Basketball-Honoring Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bb-4000-li-basketball-shoes.md) - [Basketball Performance Sleek Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shai-001.md)
