The Converse Skateboarding collection has launched on the 1rst of January 2009. Here we give you a look at the Black & Gold Pack out of the collection.

The pack consists of the high top ERX 300 model, coming in a black/gold/red colorway with a nice mix of leathers on the upper, and the CTS model, which comes in a subtle black perforated leather version. The ERX 300 goes for 90 USD and the CTS for 70 USD. Via CtotheJL.

Look out for these to release this month.

Next spring season, Converse will be releasing their first skateboarding footwear collection. Consisting of a couple of models, the first collection consists of solid footwear, at least in terms of colors and silhouettes. How they perform on the skateboard, we will have to see once they are coming out. The looks are classic and add padding and other features to the Converse sneaker.
