Ergonomic Suede Skate Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Converse Skateboarding's Proride SK OX is Made with Suede Detailing

— March 23, 2020 — Fashion
Converse Skateboarding introduces two versions of the Proride SK OX sneaker silhouette in colorways that are muted. The two tonal updates includes an ercu tone and a lush olive green option, both of which are made with a suede fabric material for a cozy update.

This also helps with the practicality for skaters, assisting in different kinds of tricks, showcased by a short skate video that features Shinpei Ueno doing tricks in the ergonomic footwear design. At the top of the sneaker all the way down to the bottom, the suede is speckled in a brittle coating. Branding details can be found at the tongue which are accompanied by flat laces in a tonal manner by the central forefoot area.
