Louie Lopez's first pro model shoe is inspired by retro tennis shoes giving it a low profile, but packed with skateboarding functionality. The durable upper is backed with rubber to extend the life of the shoe past just the upper material. The OrthoLite insole with Nike Zoom Air technology provides excellent impact absorption and heel bruise protection. A vulcanized construction with the original CONS traction rubber gives you the responsiveness and boardfeel that you love about Converse shoes. Ya' did good Louie!
