Converse have teamed up with Alexis Sablone to create their signature model, the AS-1. Designed by Sablone, this shoe takes notes from 90s cupsole skate shoe and boasts a vintage court look. The upper is made from a durable leather that has a rubber underlay for extra life and protection. TPU pods appear on the ollie wear spots for extra protection against abrasion and a perforated vamp promotes constant air flow to the foot. Underneath the classic upper is a supporting cup sole construction that features a CX foam sock liner for impact cushioning and comfort. The responsive herringbone tread pattern brings a good amount of grip without compromising board feel. Complete with Sablone branding on the tongue and below the top line, and the classic converse chevron the AS-1 blends new and old into the complete skate shoe.
