With a budding roster including the likes of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Draymond Green, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Natasha Cloud, Converse’s revitalization in the hoops space has seen a glut of tech-filled silhouettes since its return in 2019. From the sock-like fit of the All-Star BB Evo to the more structured BB Jet, the Boston-based brand is just getting started when it comes to delving out its roster of high performance models with the introduction of CX cushioning to the hardwood by way of the Converse All-Star BB Prototype CX.

The newest addition to the brand’s hoops lineup utilizes modern innovations throughout, inserting CX foam within the midsole alongside a revamped lockdown webbed lacing system, TPU shank and a reconstructed dynamic traction system underfoot. A medley of suedes and mesh panels work in tandem to provide raised side walls with breathable and dynamic comfort. Kicking off its September 13th release are a triad of propositions in a collection of color combinations featuring “Stone Maude” and “Desert Sand”, black and metallic gold, and a circuit-ready “Team Red” and white pairing.

The initial “Vegas Lights” colorway is true to its namesake drawing upon the vibrant and luminous hues of the lights that fill the city of Las Vegas at night for a treatment along the chiseled cream midsole and Star Chevron branding while paisley print insoles provide an additional creative sampling. The darker toned option provides a sleek rendition that’s golden accents exude excellence as the tongue lining profers the ingot colored floral print. The latter model remains disparate from its selectively distinct predecessors as its color scheme is ideal for any AAU program holding “Team Red” accents.

The latest Converse offering made for the court will be available September 13th via the shopping link below for a retail price of $120. In the meantime, enjoy official images of the trio of colorways gracing the All-Star BB Prototype CX.

For more basketball-ready silhouettes, the Jordan Zion 2 is receiving a dose of the Duke Blue Devils color palette.
