I stumbled across a Converse skate video on youtube this morning. Seriously, maybe they should make their skaters actually wear their shoes. Apparently, they would rather wear Nikes and DCs…
See for yourselves, here’s the vid.

I can’t figure out the full deal but this video was sponsored/produced by Converse in Brazil; its not their actual team. I.e., Alex Carolino is rocking a DC shirt + shoes because he skates for them. The best description I found on the web for this video is:
“A 2009 skate flick out of Sao Paulo, Brazil produced by Drops.tv
’15 skaters, 5 photographers, 5 videomakers and one square. Sao Paulo, Brazil’” from http://superstoker.com/2009/06/converse-square-trailers/
I think Converse just footed the bill to give some of their dudes coverage.

You might be right Namdev… but it is a little strange that they put money into something that is clearly giving other, more reputable skate companies exposure.
