Exp60% Off Converse X John Elliott Skid Grip @ Footshop UK

It might come as a surprise that the story of the Skid Grip silhouette really begins as early as 1910, when sneakers called Converse Circular Vamp Oxford made their first appearance. And yes, as the name suggests, they were very similar to Oxford shoes. Then they began to transform, playing an irreplaceable role on many tennis and basketball courts. But they also got on the decks of ships and on skating rinks. The name "Skidgrip" was given to sneakers in the early 1960s as a reference to anti-slip soles for boat sailing. Two decades later, the shoe became a mediator between the emerging community of BMX riders, skaters and the surf scene.
