Noah and Converse Unite for a Vibrant Green Louie Lopez 2 Pro Skate Shoe

Converse, the iconic American footwear brand with a storied history in sports and counter-culture, has once again joined forces with Noah, the contemporary menswear label founded by Brendon Babenzien in 2015. This latest collaboration centers on a reimagined version of the Louie Lopez 2 Pro, a signature skate shoe designed to embody the energetic and effortless style of professional skateboarder Louie Lopez. The new iteration is distinguished by a bold, full-grain suede upper in a vibrant shade of green, a color choice that immediately sets it apart and speaks to a fresh aesthetic.

This partnership is not a new development; it builds upon the shared foundation of skate culture that both Converse and Noah deeply engage with. Their connection was recently highlighted by a Spring 2026 capsule collection featuring the Chuck 70, demonstrating a consistent creative dialogue between the two entities. The Louie Lopez 2 Pro itself is a testament to Converse's commitment to skateboarding, with the silhouette meticulously crafted to meet the demands of the sport. It retains the functional integrity of the original design, including a cupsole construction that provides excellent board feel and responsiveness, crucial for skaters. The design also draws inspiration from Converse's extensive archive, incorporating design cues from classic track, cleat, and tennis footwear, lending a timeless yet athletic appeal.

Noah's influence is subtly woven into the design. While the Converse Star Chevron branding is present, it's rendered in a perforated style, offering a more understated visual. Noah's own branding is applied with similar discretion, appearing as an embossed detail on the tongue. This minimalist approach to co-branding aligns with Noah's ethos of elevated, modern menswear, which consistently bridges the worlds of skate, surf, and music. The brand's commitment to fostering skate communities was recently exemplified by their new Los Angeles store, which features a fully skateable bowl funded by Converse, creating a dedicated space for local skaters to connect and practice.

The Converse x Noah Louie Lopez 2 Pro is slated for an official release on July 30. It will be available for purchase directly through Converse's official channels, Noah's own stores and website, and a curated selection of other reputable retailers, ensuring accessibility for enthusiasts of both brands and skate culture.
