Kenny Anderson x CONS "KA3"

CONS KA3 now available in the Philippines, go to your nearest Converse stores!

One of the icons in this generations skateboarding era - Kenny Anderson finally releases his 3rd signature shoe under the CONS brand! This new skate shoe is designed with the drop in Lunarlon sockliner for extra cushioning! I've a few skateboarder friends who've been spotted rocking these around the Metro Manila playgrounds. This new shoe is meant to be used on the streets and is also a great lifestyle product. 

 

Two of my favorite versions of the KA3!

Ripped Laces review: When you’re as beautiful and gifted on a skateboard as Kenny Anderson, you can pretty much do anything you want. With the power that Kenny possess, he could come out with a brown paper bag upper on his latest pro model and we’re almost positive that it would sell out instantly- so long as he was found doing 1 stylish trick in it. Fortunate for everyone, leather is becoming the hit sensation it once was in skateboarding and because of it, the KA3′s vulcanize construction is a lot stronger than you’d expect it to be. 

Awesome review here of the shoe, how they made the shoe breathable!

Kenny’s 3rd pro model comes after a slew of successful and proven models from Converse. His fusion of cupsole & vulcanized was appreciated in his first CONS pro model but was gone too soon. His 2nd pro model came in a bulkier body and thankfully, word has it that it’s going to continue being produced, even as his 3rd pro models hits skate shops worldwide.

The real difference in his 3rd model is its simplistic nature. This chukka silhouette has been the missing piece from CONS skate line and is essential to any backbone of a skate brand. Of all the details on this otherwise simple shoe, its the Gusseted tongue that keeps the shoe snug to your foot at all times. It’s also because of this Gusseted tongue that you can optionally chose to wear the KA3 with or without laces, like a slip-on. It isn’t necessarily designed to be worn like this, but once the shoe’s wear down, you might as well give in and relax in them momentarily.
