Converse is celebrating Black History Month with a classic tandem. Whether you’re a devoted sneakerhead or just an everyday shoe consumer, we can all agree that the Converse Pro Leather and the Converse Chuck 70 are monumental sneakers as the pairs have transcended from the courts all the way to its present lifestyle use thanks to its adoption into the world of fashion and streetwear. The Chuck 70 features a combination of leather and other materials for a great use of color blocking that stays true to the silhouette with a slight twist. The Pro Leather is simplistic in its ways with a two-toned upper with a pop of color thanks to the lace combo. Both pairs are perfect to add to the rotation while honoring Black History Month.
