How to Clean Converse CONS Louie Lopez Pro Mid Sneakers

Growing up, every kid at school wanted to be the next big pro skater, and the Converse CONS Louie Lopez Pro Mid Sneakers are perfect for landing sic tricks at the skatepark. Louie Lopez is a pro skateboard from Los Angeles, sponsored by converse and other brands. He has made his name with a unique riding style that is entirely his own.

The Pro Mid sneakers are the latest design of the Louie Lopez skate shoes. The higher mid provides much-needed ankle support when you fail to stick the landing.
