Straight from the streets of Paris, Rémy Taveira has always brought a distinct blend of style and precision to skateboarding—and his new Fastbreak Pro colorway from Converse CONS is a great reflection of that. Take a look:

“Using the Fastbreak Pro’s court-inspired lines as the vehicle to bring Paris to you, Rémy’s signature colorway relays what he loves most about his home with a wear-away leather upper that reveals details over time,” Converse mentions on their site. “Using hidden symbolism throughout the design, it’s an immersive take on a mid-top silhouette finished with personal touches that speak to duality.”
At first glance, it’s a great looking shoe, but the real magic starts once you actually start skating them. As the shoes wear down, the black leather starts to fade into a rich burgundy tone (get all the wine references yet?) which ultimately provides an entire new look with every session. Pretty rad!

The shoes are officially available today, May 16th at skateshops across the globe and of course, the CONS site. Priced at $90, I’d say that’s actually quite a steal, at least considering how much thought and energy went into the design. Hit your local and see if they have ’em! Otherwise, secure a pair here before they’re gone.
