# Perforated Court Kicks The Converse Star Player Evo Lets Your Feet Breathe Easy By Michael Hines | Published 2010-08-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-star-player-evo References: [streetlevel](http://www.streetlevel.com/2010/08/20/converse-star-player-evo-mid-wbf/) & [osneaker](http://osneaker.com/converse-star-ply-evo-mid-wbf-edition.html) [Converse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weapon-plts-ox) is returning to the court with their new Converse Star Player Evo. This shoe is a contemporary redesign of the classic Converse Star player. Converse used to be a basketball shoe force, but found themselves on the outside looking in once brands like Nike, [Reebok](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nano-golf-shoes), and [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superstar-breathe) came along. The Converse Star Player Evo features a red, white, and blue colorway and a perforated side panel to help your feet stay cool and sharp.
