I've had this shoe since Christmas 2012. They're so good right out the box, I learned switch heelflips with these. I would TOTALLY recommend these to a person because they're that good! And also Kenny Anderson knows how to design a good overall shoe. I had/ have the black/gum color way, they go good with everything.
Pros: breaks in easy, long lasting soles, looks great, sole keeps grip a long time, good board feel, cool colors, stylish, runs true to size, doesn't rip, durable, comfortable, good grip, good ankle support, laces don't break
Cons: poor cushioning

Really good shoes, only downside is the laces broke in like a day and there is no ankle support, but i would definitely buy these shoes again. Awesome board feel and great grip.
Pros: breaks in easy, long lasting soles, good board feel, comfortable, good grip, good cushioning

This shoe was one of the best shoes ive had!. It is super comfortable and stylish. It did not rip on me right away like most shoes did which made me super happy. It really was worth the money.

This shoes are super comfy and fit nice. They are very light and stylish and perfect for skating. The only negative thing I can say it that I wish they came with extra lasses and the souls are very thin.
Pros: breaks in easy, looks great, good board feel, cool colors, stylish, doesn't rip, durable, comfortable, good grip
Cons: laces break easily

These are the best skate shoes that I've owned. They hold up really well even after a long skate sesh. The padding isn't too great but it's not something I look for in a skate shoe. Looking forward to try to KA One Vulcs when these are done for.
Pros: breaks in easy, looks great, good board feel, stylish, durable, comfortable, good grip
Cons: laces break easily, poor cushioning

i really like this shoe. it took a minute for them to break in. but when they finally broke in they were great. the only thing i dont like is how hot they get on your feet when its hot outside. but overall good shoe.
Pros: good board feel, stylish, durable, laces don't break, comfortable, good grip
Cons: does not break in quickly, it gets really hot on your feet if its hot outside

Never have I ever had such boardfeel

These shoes were designed to give as much boardfeel as possible and they definitely do more than that. When I skate it feels like I'm almost barefoot, it's great. The only downside is that because the shoes are so thin I feel a lot more pain, but if you skate like Kenny you won't be falling down much. The suede and the treading of the soles last a pretty long time; I was skeptical as to whether or not they would at first. These are great shoes that I would recommend to anyone that wants to experience the best boardfeel. they're also pretty cheap now so I highly recommend a pair. These are my favorite shoes to skate in.
Pros: breaks in easy, long lasting soles, good board feel, stylish, durable, sole keeps grip a long time, comfortable, good grip
Cons: poor cushioning

These shoes arrived on time and i loved them ever since! I took them out to the bars and had compliments from across the street. You can't go wrong rockin the classic converse style! I went to the club the next night to test them out and they actually make my dance moves that much more exciting! Highly recommend... unless you wear 10.5 because I'm going to keep coming back for these shoes and I don't want them to be out of stock
Pros: breaks in easy, long lasting soles, looks great, good board feel, cool colors, stylish, doesn't rip, durable, good cushioning, good ankle support, laces don't break, sole keeps grip a long time, comfortable, good grip, compliments, good toe protection

The Converse KA One shoe is definitely a winner. This shoe has so much style. I bought the red and white colorway and it is too fresh. I have only skated it for a week now but it is a very promising shoe. There will be a break in period, but the shoe will mold nicely to your foot. The sole is a little thin, but nothing too bad. The waxed laces are nice a durable too. If you're like me and Kenny Anderson is your favorite skater, or you just want a sick shoe, snag these. Now.
Pros: looks great, good board feel, cool colors, stylish, durable, comfortable, good grip

The KA One is an all around a great shoe. Of all the converse i've skated it is the best. I really love the unique toe cap stitching plus it has great feel and flick. The whole shoe has amazing board feel, and plus it looks great with anything. Converse are on top of their game right now and Kenny Anderson's shoe made them even better. I also like the heel support in the shoe, it makes heel bruises a thing of the past. All and all the shoe is amazing and the design is one of a kind. I would really suggest grabbing yourself a pair.
Pros: breaks in easy, long lasting soles, looks great, good board feel, cool colors, stylish, doesn't rip, durable, good cushioning, good ankle support, laces don't break, sole keeps grip a long time, comfortable, good grip, heel support

Sick shoe.

Really sick shoe. I skate every day and this shoe lasted me quite a bit, more than usual. I like the toecap shape and the overall sleek design. Good board feel for a cup sole and keeps your feet safe from heel bruises. It was comfortable, fit nice, and came with waxed laces that take longer to rip. I was not too big a fan of some of the other converse shoe styles but this one is really nice. Anderson is an awesome skater with an awesome shoe. I definitely recommend it.
