Some ideas don’t work out so well (ahem vintage running shoes) others, are genius. Take making the ever-popular Chuck Taylor into functional skate sneaker. Converse nailed it with their new skate line with this CTS model being the standout. Comfort-wise expect a thicker tongue, and a sole that’s a bit more padded than the extremely flat original CT. If you’re having trouble locating the sneakers, hit up KCDC in Brooklyn who’s accepting phone orders and won’t judge you if you’re not a skater.

The buzz around the skate-world for the past month or two has been all about CONS-Converse’s new skate line that will begin to roll out in January. The line is deep, but we’re most psyched about this CONS CTS, a Chuck Taylor that’s hooked up with a thicker insole, and improved shock-absorption when compared to the usual hipster trainers.
Even if you don’t skate, it’d be wise to cop off comfort alone, especially being that these killer bees clock in at a recession-friendly price of $55. Check core skate shops as well as converseskateboarding.com early next month.
