The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star is about as iconic and timeless as it gets. Duh. What’s wild is how many different cultures have embraced it over the years. From basketball—where it all began—to grunge, punk, hip hop, hardcore, greasers, and of course skateboarding, the color options are endless, but the latest “Egg Shell” colorway? Clean as ever—and built for the streets. Take a look:

I know that was a long-winded way of shining some light on this new colorway, but hey—they say it’s about the journey more than the destination, right? Don’t ask me who “they” are, but still. You get it. Plus, look how dope Romel Torres makes them look in that first slide.

Personally, I’ll forever love the basic black/whites, but these really caught my eye. And if you haven’t skated a pair of the CONS CTAS Pros—despite the color—you might be surprised how durable and comfortable these truly are. For you jumpers to curb slappers, these are a straight up skate shoe. Don’t ever get it twisted.

What I love about CONS is that they have so much to offer these days, too. Need something more technical? Peep the Fastbreak Pro or the Louie Lopez 2. Trying to keep it clean and simple? Give Chuck his dap, lace these up and hit the streets. The choice is yours.

At the end of the day, the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Pro is proof that classics only get better with time. And the “Egg Shell” colorway is just another reminder that CONS knows how to keep things fresh while staying true to its roots.

Hit your local, give ‘em a look in person, and you’ll see why the Chuck will never fall off.
