The Converse Louie Lopez Pro 2 OX is a pro skater's signature CONS low-top with a thin cupsole and CX foam insole, a clean understated skate shoe that balances heritage styling with modern board-feel tech but runs long.
The Louie Lopez Pro 2 OX is the second signature shoe for CONS pro skater Louie Lopez, built under Converse's skate-focused CONS line. It updates classic Converse silhouette cues with a thin cupsole and CX foam insole aimed at real board feel. That places it as a low-key skate shoe for buyers who want function without a loud, collectible-driven design.
Not quite. The Louie Lopez Pro 2 OX runs long, so size down a half size for a proper fit, which is what several owners did after ordering true to size. CONS sizing also varies between models, so expect this one shorter than a Chuck 70 or One Star, and one buyer noted owners going a full size down on Chucks by comparison.
Buy it for skating if you like a thin cupsole and want board feel over plush cushioning. The CX foam insole adds support without bulk, but plan for a short break-in before they skate their best. Tactics found it supportive enough for everyday wear or jumping off tall stuff all day; skip it if you want the softer, more cushioned ride of a Nike SB Dunk Low.
CONS shoes have a good skate reputation, but expect the usual tradeoffs. One owner found the toe box small and the shoe stiff enough to cause foot pain within an hour, and thin Converse uppers can wear out fast under flip tricks. Buy it for transition skating or if you already get along with the CONS fit; try a pair on first if you do not.
Choose the Pro 2 OX if you want quieter styling and a low-profile cupsole; choose the Vans Skate Old Skool for a vulcanized feel and far more colorways. The Pro 2 OX leans on understated CONS looks for buyers who want skate function to stay visually quiet. Owners who picked up the Pro 2 OX call it a clean, sleeper pickup that is too dope to sleep on.
Yes, and it makes the shoe easy to wear off the board. Pair it with work pants, denim, shorts, or relaxed skatewear and it reads as a clean casual sneaker rather than technical skate gear. Buy it as a do-both shoe if you want one pair for skating and daily styling; owner pickup posts repeatedly praise its clean, understated shape and mixed-material detailing.
