Streetwear Meets Skater Culture: The Converse x Awake NY One Star Pro

Streetwear Meets Skater Culture: The Converse x Awake NY One Star Pro

A collaboration between Converse and Awake NY has birthed the captivating Converse x Awake NY One Star Pro shoe, a blend of skater functionality and streetwear aesthetics. This collaboration marks the first time these two brands have come together, bringing forth a modern take on the iconic One Star silhouette. The One Star Pro is crafted specifically for skateboarders, offering exceptional board feel and impact cushioning, thanks to a CONS traction rubber outsole​​.


This collaboration has brought about three different colorways of the One Star Pro, namely, baby blue, cool grey, and sleek black. The shoes are injected with the bold aesthetic of the streetwear label, featuring a hairy suede construction. Each color variant sports large "AWAKE NY" embroidery on the lateral side alongside a cut-out star motif, blending both brand's identities in a stylish yet understated manner​​.


The shoe design is not merely about aesthetics but captures the essence of both brands effectively. The clever design where the second 'A' in Awake gracefully occupies the iconic star logo cutout is a subtle nod to the collaboration. Underfoot, a rubberized sole unit sits with Awake NY and Converse co-branding present on the heel, exhibiting a seamless blend of both brand's design ethos​​.


The Awake NY x Converse One Star Pro is set to release on October 6, 2023, through Awake NY, while a wider release is scheduled for October 12, 2023, across Converse and select retailers, both online and in-store.


The Converse x Awake NY One Star Pro is not just a pair of sneakers; it's a testament to what can be achieved when two prominent brands from different realms come together. It's about celebrating skate culture with a streetwear lens, creating a product that is as stylish as it is functional.
