Earlier we posted on the upcoming CONS Black & Gold Pack, now thanks to Converse Blog, we have a detailed look at the Erx 300. The color-up is pretty unique, but there’s also key details like memory foam in the anke area so the shoe will contour to your foot the more you skate/wear it. Also interesting to note is a lobster, yes, a lobster, on the inside of the label on the tongue.

According to Weartested, the latest Nike SB Tre AD’s (above) and Dunk’s all have new Kevlar shoelaces, with “Kevlar” printed on the aglet (tip) over a staggered checkered background. But where does this Kevlar material come into play? If you skateboard, you know that your laces rip quickly, so the bigwig innovators at Nike decided to put a strand of Kevlar string inside the laces to prevent them from tearing up and/or breaking so fast. Kevlar is used in bullet proof vests, so it should stand up to skateboard sneaker abuse pretty well. Take a look at the Kevlar inside of the shoelace below and let us know how your laces hold up if you got a pair of new SB’s.
