CONVERSE CONS DEBUTS THIRD KENNY ANDERSON KA3 SIGNATURE SNEAKER The new Converse CONS KA3 sneaker delivers the perfect balance of skate performance and style NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. (January 14, 2015) — Today, CONVERSE Inc. announces the launch of the new Converse CONS KA3, the third signature sneaker with longtime Converse Skate Ambassador Kenny Anderson. The Converse CONS KA3 was designed to not only meet the performance demands of skateboarders, but also for the lifestyle consumer looking for an essential sneaker to wear on their daily journey. I’m super excited with my new CONS KA3,” said Converse CONS skate ambassador Kenny Anderson. “The silhouette came out looking great and they feel amazing on the board. It’s nice that they have the same feel when I’m skating a spot, cruising around or just walking.” The Converse CONS KA3 stays true to the CONS skateboarding heritage with a classic skateboarding silhouette, and also integrates functional features like CONS traction rubber for optimal board grip, a drop-in Lunarlon sockliner for cushioning, and a vulcanized last for superior board feel. The perforated memory foam collar forms to the foot and provides breathability while the gusseted tongue offers stability and comfort. To coincide with the launch of the Converse CONS KA3, a short film titled “Threes” features Anderson and celebrates his new signature sneaker with the theme of the number “three”. The film illustrates the journey through Anderson’s mind as he focuses on landing a particular three trick line throughout the streets. The Converse CONS KA3 sneaker will be available for purchase on Friday, January 15 with a rich premium leather silhouette for a suggested retail price $80 USD, as well as other iterations in leather, canvas and suede in colorways including Black, White, Dolphin and Vision Blue for a suggested retail price of $70 USD. Both models will be available at Converse, Converse.com and skate specialty retailers nationwide.
