Converse One Star Pro Mid Shoes

Converse One Star Pro Mid Shoes in Obsidian, Hyper Pink and Black. Arriving as the Shanghai counterpart from the brand’s ‘Heart of the City’ collection, inspired by basketball, street-culture and nightlight, this performance-focused design pairs better boardfeel with structured longevity to deliver exemplary quality from first wear. Styled with rubber-backed suede uppers crafted to resemble cracked snakeskin, these embossed mid-top sneakers feature the brand’s iconic CONS traction rubber outsole styled in a striking shade of hyper-pink, a moulded CX foam sockliner and over-spilt foxings for improved abrasion resistance. The multi-layered auxetic toe bumper keeps unwanted scuffs and scrapes at bay, whilst the recessed 8-eyelet lacing system secures the flat poly-cotton laces across the debossed ‘CONS’ tongue with ease. Side-wall perforations are matched with the brand’s iconic cut-through ‘One Star’ emblem, with the rubberised heel scabs celebrating heritage and contemporary desire through their certified aesthetic. Neon-pink custom insoles pay tribute to its Shanghai muse, whilst the split-profile Hanzi ‘Converse’ branding helps seal the design with an added layer of referential depth well-suited to the collection’s quirky aesthetic.

A midnight-blue high-collared profile that taps into contemporary ‘after-dark’ trends and the collection’s endless ode to nightlife, this mid-cut One Star Pro is inspired by cross-cultural ties and modernised cityscape necessity. A silhouette re-issued in the ‘90s after its initial fruition in the ‘70s, the iconic One Star remains one of Converse’s most popular silhouettes to date.
