The Skidgrip <\/strong>is back. No doubt, classic lovers will remember the silhouette<\/strong>. The history of Skidgrip goes back to 1910<\/strong>, with the launch of the Converse Circular Vamp Oxford (CVO)<\/strong>. Now, the silhouette has been slightly modified to suit the streetwear scene<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So Converse has called on designer Jerry Lorenzo<\/strong> (@jerrylorenzo<\/a><\/strong>) to reinvent this classic. “We chose the Skidgrip because it was a shoe I loved when I was younger<\/strong>“, said Lorenzo in a statement. Without a doubt, the connection between the silhouette and the designer has led to the success of the launch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
