Chris Andersen Converse Pro Leather 2k11 PE

Finally NBA is here and with that comes a first look at Chris Andersen's Pro Leather 2k11.  I am not really sure what happened with the blue, it doesn't really match the Nuggets at all.  Hopefully by the time the season actually starts they will have this corrected.   If he played for the Warriors these would be perfect though.

JJ Barea gives us a preview of the Pro Leather 2k11 Ox

During the Pan Am games that Puerto Rico won our man JJ Barea busted out the new Converse Pro Leather 2k11 Ox (or EVO for the ox version, not sure yet.)  This is a shoe that will hopefully make it into production in the spring.  Here's hoping it doesn't go the way of the Weapon EVO ox and Star Player EVO ox, which neither made to retail. 

The blue area on the bottom of the shoe is CBT tech, Converse Balls.  While the white areas pays tribute to the original traction pattern of the Pro Leather. 

Hurry up and end the NBA lockout so we can see Converse on the courts!
