Converse holds Cons Project Manila as a support to Pinoy Street Culture

Definitely more than a sneakers, Converse Philippines conducted the first ever “Cons Project Manila,” a one-day event that highlights street art and Do-It-Yourself skateboard ramp workshops, at the Pelota Court, BF Resort Village, Las Piñas City last November 22. Converse has teamed up with two of the Philippines’ known street artists to turn a static and unadornedwall into an art piece. The street art workshop was headed by visual artists Rai Cruz and multi-disciplinary artist Nemo Aguila, both of whom have passion for street painting.

Aiming to create a stamp in the modern Filipino street culture, the event was inspired by the new CONS Fall 2014 Sneaker Collection which debuted last August.

A DIY skateboard ramps workshop also took place, which complements the few skateboard ramps in the venue. Converse Cons Regional Skate Brand Ambassador and world-renowned skateboarder Jeff Gonzales led the participants in the workshop and was able to build ramps.

Like the Cons Project Manila, the new CONS collection is a re-mastered and refined line of sneakers after years of continuous alterations and improvements. It keeps it tabs with the changing times to be at par with the modern street culture and cater to its younger and more modern audience.

A small party with lively music, skateboarding and live graffiti was held as a culmination of a successful event.

Until our next discovery in the City!
