Chris Gibbs worked closely with Converse Skateboarding to redesign the Converse CX-PRO SK OX for this partnership. The CX-PRO SK OX is based on the classic CX PRO-250, retaining that bike's classic good looks but updating them with modern materials and craftsmanship.

Union LA and Converse have collaborated on several other sneaker releases, including the Union x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star '70 "Gore-Tex" collection, which added waterproofing technology to the classic sneaker, and the Union x Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star "Election Day" collection, which featured designs inspired by the American political process.

The Converse CX-PRO SK OX is a modern sneaker that is part of Converse's CX line, featuring updated designs and innovative materials for enhanced performance and comfort. The shoe was first introduced in 2019 and quickly gained popularity among sneaker enthusiasts and skaters alike.

The design of the Converse CX-PRO SK OX draws inspiration from classic Converse silhouettes, such as the Chuck Taylor All Star, but features several updates and enhancements. The upper is made from a combination of durable canvas and suede materials and features a reinforced toe cap for added durability. Additionally, the shoe has Converse's CX foam technology, providing responsive cushioning and support.

One of the key features of the CX-PRO SK OX is its traction outsole, which is specifically designed for skateboarding. The outsole features a herringbone tread pattern for enhanced grip and durability and is made from a rubber compound that is both flexible and abrasion-resistant.
