83 AND BEYOND Originally released in '83, the Converse Fastbreak was front and centre on the basketball court. Retooled for skateboarding at the request of the CONS family and admirers alike, this updated pro model blends archival details and a durable, rubber cupsole with comfortable leather to create a true, all-around skate shoe. Molded CX foam keeps it cushioned, while the mid-cut profile helps provide stability and impact absorption during wear.
