Drawing from the sneaker\u2019s past while pushing the shoe into the future, the Converse Pro Leather returns in two monochromatic colorways. The \u201cTriple Black\u201d and \u201cTriple White\u201d iterations of the newly upgraded Converse Pro Leather \u201876<\/strong> merge the classic style with a Nike Lunarlon sockliner for added comfort and cushion. The result is a lifestyle sneaker that is at home on the streets of the city, while still maintaining its vintage basketball roots.<\/p>\n Shot in black and white to fuse an old-school vibe with contemporary urban fashion, the Pro Leather \u201976 lookbook sees the sneaker photographed against the backdrop of iconic New York City basketball courts. The photos start at the storied Rucker Park, Sarah D. Roosevelt Park and Rutgers Park locations, where you might have expected to see the sneakers when they first dropped 40 years ago, before moving out into the sprawl of the city where you\u2019d expect to see them today.<\/p>\n
