Converse Pro Leather Appraisal

Converse Pro Leather Mid-Top Sneakers

This item is a pair of Converse Pro Leather mid-top sneakers, featuring a predominantly black leather upper with contrasting white accents. The sneakers are a classic basketball shoe design characterized by their mid-cut silhouette, providing ankle support. Key physical characteristics include black leather for the main body of the shoe, white laces, and a white rubber sole. A prominent white 'star and chevron' logo, iconic to Converse, is emblazoned on both the lateral and medial sides of each shoe. The tongue of the shoe features a woven label with 'Converse' branding, including the star logo within a rectangular box, typical of the brand. The shoes exhibit visible signs of wear, suggesting they are used. This includes some creasing in the leather upper, particularly around the toe box and midfoot, consistent with normal use. The white rubber soles show discoloration and dirt accumulation, indicating wear and potential scuffing. The laces appear to be original but also show minor signs of use. There are no overt signs of significant damage such as tears or major scuffs in the leather, though closer inspection would be needed to confirm. The overall construction appears solid, maintaining the classic design and sturdy build associated with Converse. These sneakers likely date from the late 20th century or early 21st century, embodying a retro athletic style. The condition is consistent with a well-worn but generally maintained pair of vintage or retro sneakers. Quality indicators include the durable leather material and classic stitching, characteristic of the Pro Leather model.
