This Converse All-Star Pro BB is Inspired By Kobe’s OG “Grinch” Colorway
The Converse All Star Pro BB “Nocturnal” adds a fresh twist to the brand’s latest performance basketball shoe with the addition of a glow-in-the-dark sole unit. In vibe, it carries a cheeky nod to a previous holiday edition of an Eric Avar classic– the Nike Zoom Kobe VI “Grinch”. In practice, the shoe also celebrates Converse’s two-decades-long legacy of experimentation with phosphorescence.
Converse initiated glow-in-the-dark designs in 1987, when both uppers and outsoles of the Chuck were first illuminated. This was a step in the continued evolution of the icon — pushing beyond prints to augment the presence of the sneaker on the streets. Now, with the All-Star Pro BB, the luminous look adds to the energetic statements made on the shoe’s upper since the silhouette’s debut in April.
