Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Converse x Noah Louie Lopez 2 Pro is a Premium Skateboarding Shoe

— July 29, 2026 — Art & Design
The Converse x Noah Louie Lopez 2 Pro updates Louie Lopez's signature skate shoe with premium materials and understated branding inspired by the two brands' shared skateboarding heritage. The sneaker features a durable full-grain suede upper in a vibrant green finish, while a perforated Star Chevron and embossed Noah logo on the tongue maintain a minimalist aesthetic. Built on the Louie Lopez 2 Pro platform, the design retains its responsive cupsole construction and archive-inspired details influenced by classic Converse track, tennis, and cleated footwear.

The release follows the brands' Spring 2026 Chuck 70 collaboration and continues a partnership rooted in skate culture and community. Beyond collaborative products, Converse and Noah recently supported the opening of Noah's Los Angeles store with a fully skateable bowl designed as a gathering space for local skaters.
