- Converse All Star Pro BB basketball shoes - a diffusion of classic design and modern solutions
Over 100 years ago the company Converse was founded and was a big symbol in basketball from the very early stages of the brand. In 1917, the company launched Non-Skid shoes for basketball. The trend of Converse shoes spread quickly thanks to coach and company salesman Chuck Taylor, who organized basketball camps around the U.S. Eventually, Chuck's name appeared on Converse shoes and the trunk of history was filled with moments which will remain in history forever. One of them is the monstrous performance of Wilt Chamberlain in 1962. He scored 100 points against the New York Knicks, pushing the performance chart to unattainable heights. One of the most impressive shots in NBA history was also made in Converse shoes when Julius Erving was driving under the basket and managed to hang in the air for a long time and make a fantastic lay-up in the 1980 NBA finals that was gained the title The Scoop. In addition, Converse sponsored the US men's basketball team from 1936 until 1988.
In 2019, Converse is taking a strong step into the era of modern basketball and has introduced a tool for intense gameplay. Converse All Star Pro BB basketball shoes are a diffusion of classic design and modern solutions that will serve today's players.
Eric Avar, famous designer of Nike basketball shoes, led the creative process of Converse All Star Pro BB. The designer also created shoes for legends such as Kobe Bryant, Penny Hardaway and Gary Payton.
Converse All Star Pro BB retains the classic Convers design that has become an easily recognizable icon. The shoes were designed having the modern basketball, versatile basketball player and his creative freedom on the court in mind. Converse All Star Pro BB has an ultra-light yet very sturdy one-layer upper part. The shoes will make you feel comfortable and confident on the court - the Nike React soft foam will protect your feet from the first to the last phase of the most intense action. Rise up, land safe and control the game!
The company’s goal of looking after future basketball players has also been confirmed by the fact that young talents such as Kelly Oubre Jr. and Abudushalamu Abudurexiti will hit the court in Converse All Star Pro BB Shoes.
The Australia-based Savannah Pride community which aims to inspire young people through basketball has become the official ambassador of Converse All Star Pro BB shoes. Most of the community members are South Sudanese refugees and basketball plays an extremely important role in their lives. Also, Converse shows the importance of basketball outside the court - it inspires, creates opportunities for improvement and raises future leaders. “The Savannah Pride is like a second family. We trust each other, come to have fun, play basketball, have a good day” - community members stated.
