The Converse All Star Pro BB Eclipse honors two elements of the brand’s rich basketball history.
First, the split black/white design reminds of a period in history in which those were the only colorways of the Chuck Taylor All Star available — beginning in 1934, when white was added for the US national men’s basketball team, all the way through 1971.
Second, the introduction of a low-cut All Star Pro BB recalls Converse’s first low-cut iteration of an All Star, prepared by Converse’s product team for the Harlem Globetrotters in 1957. The idea wasn’t just a hit on the court, it also brought the Chuck Taylor to fame within California’s emergent beach culture.
