Converse CTS & Pappalardo Shoes

Converse has been on quite a roll lately. Since the brand’s re-emergence within the market during the spring of last year, they’ve steadily built and improved upon their initial pick of team riders (ambassadors) and original product line offering.

We were shipped the widely popular CTS and Anthony Pappalardo pro model shoes. Both of these designs employ double stitched high abrasion suede with durable laces and high density, high memory foam within the collar and tongue areas. They fit well and skate great, and have great board feel due to the use of classic All Star gum rubber soles. Simple enough, these low profile vulcanized skate kicks hold up to daily use and abuse too.

Jam on over to the Converse Skateboarding site for photos and video with the team of ambassadors, an interactive skate map, and a rundown of the latest models and colorways of shoes in their skate line including the newly released pro models for both Nick Trapasso and Rune Glifberg.
