Converse All Star BB Prototype CX Black Gold

Built for the athlete not confined by a position or stereotype, Converse introduces the All Star BB Prototype CX—the newest silhouette in the brand’s basketball lineup. Prototype is Converse’s first performance basketball featuring a CX foam midsole, boosting impact absorption to optimize long-lasting comfort from shootaround to postgame. The infusion of CX technology, a revamped lock down system, and new dynamic traction serve the demands of today’s versatile athlete who plays across all dimensions, roles, and positions. This new era of hoopers can’t only be defined as a sharpshooter, playmaker, paint protector, or lockdown defender—they are all of the above and more. Converse’s basketball roster, led by Natasha Cloud, Draymond Green, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Kelly Oubre Jr., Jet Chang, and Abdusalam ‘SLAM’ Abdurixit embody the prototype of this next-generation athlete who won’t be bucketed by their on-court attributes. They are social activists with unlimited shooting range, magnetic media personalities with championship pedigree, and fashion icons who can score at will. Among the Prototype’s additional game changing innovations are a new lockdown system that gives players an instant secure feel with higher sidewalls, which assists in both preventing rolling off the midsole during cutting and ensuring a smooth ride. Weight is reduced through a new coring design component, helping to give energy back to the athlete so they can stay on top of their game longer. A hidden webbing lacing system supports containment and a snug lockdown.
