The Converse Court ’84 offers a glimpse into what passed for performance roundball kicks around the time of the Los Angeles Olympiad, a fairly simple lowtop design whose lineage runs back through models like the Star Player and Chuck Taylor All Star. As such, they’re a perfect alternative to the time-tested classics and a welcome addition to the One Star lineup.
