Renowned artist Ruslan Karablin p/k/a SSUR’s latest creation is the black (of course) Converse Pro Leather 1976 shoe is no different. SSUR flips the old school hoops shoe with a gritty yet sleek feel.

Its silhouette is constructed of a clean, simple, black nubuck suede upper with subtle perforated Star Chevron branding and a clean neoprene tongue. The gold accents are there for an aspirational feel according to Karablin. While metallic gold shark-tooth jewelry and an image of a great black shark on the foot bed represent status on the street. That coupled with the SSUR signature and skull and crossbones give the shoe a best of both worlds aesthetic.

The SSUR for Converse Pro Leather 1976 will launch globally in August 20, 2010 at SSUR Inc., Undefeated and select retailers globally. All shoes will be available in unisex sizing 8 – 13 for $90 US.
