CONS One Star - Fashion Company Profile

Company Profile

Converse still sells One Star and CONS skate shoes today, and the 2015 examples below remain the reference point for identifying the Pro models of that season. The wider Converse record - the company itself, the Chuck Taylor All Star and the Jack Purcell - sits on the sibling pages in this section.

That event gives the page its anchor. Starting in June 2015, the CONS Skate Team would be visiting cities around the world to skate, hang and promote the new Converse CONS One Star Pro. The phrasing is worth keeping as recorded, because it describes how a skate line is actually launched: not with a specification sheet but with a team, a tour, and the shoe on feet in front of the community it is made for. The One Star Pro was the team's shoe for that tour, and the 2015 collection examples on this page are the models that tour was promoting.

Reading the 2015 Examples

The three photographs reward a close look, because together they show the range inside a single pro model name. The black One Star example shows the shoe in its most understated form - a dark suede-style skate shoe whose single star, the One Star line's namesake mark, reads as a cutout detail rather than a printed logo. The CTAS Pro example connects the skate line back to the Chuck Taylor silhouette family - CTAS is the Chuck Taylor All Star's initials - showing how the CONS program drew on the company's most famous shape as well as the One Star's. Between them, the photographs make their point by selection rather than statement: the CONS range was a family of pro sneakers built from Converse's own heritage shapes, reworked for skateboarding.

That heritage context sits on the sibling pages in this letter rather than repeated here: the Converse company profile records the CONS name among the company's three trade names as of 2015, alongside Chuck Taylor All Star and Jack Purcell, and the Chuck Taylor page follows the All Star design the CTAS Pro draws on. What this page adds, and what only this page holds, is the 2015 product moment itself - the collection examples and the team tour - kept as a dated snapshot. Readers looking for current CONS models, team rosters or tour dates should treat this page as the historical record it is and check the official Converse route in the References for the present-day line.
