Bobby De Keyzer is one of those rare skateboarders who manages to keep a low profile while consistently delivering when it matters most. The dude has never had an underwhelming video part, that's for sure. His technical skill, control and tasteful (not to mention, totally original) trick selection are just a few things your favorite pros can't help but admire. And to put it simply, he's always keeping us on our toes.
Off the board, his sharp eye for detail and creative precision are just as impressive. His latest project with Converse CONS, reimagining the classic One Star Academy Pro, is no exception. Take a look:
"Like his skating, the Converse CONS x Bobby Dekeyzer One Star Academy Pro is a timeless take on tradition," CONS mentions on their site. "A reflection of Bobby's craft, his One Star Academy Pro blends vintage aesthetics with a modern approach by adding personal details to its iconic silhouette. From the custom lacing system and extended stripes to the elevated materials and foundational colors, Bobby's One Star Academy Pro is a precise vision that transforms a Converse classic."
For those of you who need that tech talk, here you go:
The shoes are hitting skate shops across the globe as we speak and are also available on the Converse site.
My only complaint? Well, I've been patiently waiting for some new De Keyzer clips to accompany the release! And I'm sure many of you have as well. Who knows, maybe we'll get hit with a nice little surprise in the next few days? Fingers crossed.
