The Converse All Star BB Evo "Heart Of The City Shanghai" is a vibrant expression of basketball heritage and urban culture. This iteration is a direct descendant of the All Star Pro BB, marking Converse's renewed commitment to performance basketball footwear and the evolution of their legacy within the sport. The design ethos takes inspiration from the energy and visual spectacle of Shanghai, channeling the spirit of the city into a high-performance basketball shoe.
Primarily designed for the demands of basketball, the All Star BB Evo "Heart Of The City Shanghai" excels in providing fluid movement and multi-directional support on the court. Its low-to-the-ground profile and wide forefoot base enhance lateral movements, while the internal heel counter and lightly padded ankle area offer stability. The shoe's design prioritizes a minimal feel, making it suitable for a wide range of players, from casual enthusiasts to professional athletes.
The All Star BB Evo "Heart Of The City Shanghai" has been embraced by prominent figures in the basketball world. Kelly Oubre Jr. was seen wearing the shoe during NBA games and around the debut in late 2020. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA) has also been seen sporting the All Star BB Evo in NBA games, showcasing its performance capabilities since August 2020. Furthermore, Natasha Cloud has also been observed in basketball games, highlighting the shoe's versatility and appeal across different levels of play since August 2020.
The shoe's construction is a fusion of advanced materials and thoughtful design. It features a lightweight, engineered mesh upper with strategic TPU sections for flexibility and a dynamic gradient color scheme that blends obsidian, pink, and purple. Inside, the Nike React drop-in midsole ensures responsive cushioning, complemented by a CX Foam insole, providing both comfort and performance. The outsole, inspired by classic Chuck Taylors, is modified for basketball, with a pattern of squares and cutouts for grip.
