These stone grey CTS’s may be some of the cleanest Chucks we’ve seen in a while, coming in this time as a skate-specific low top variant. Decked out in suede and sitting on a white sole, these are keeping things simple and to the point.

Extra padding separates the CTS from the standard low-top All-Star. Both the tongue and ankle surround have a nice layer of protective and comfortable stuffing to help skaters out. We saw a collaboration Converse did with Woolrich on the high-top Chuck a few days ago and the reception was warm, but how do these in-house Converse compare?

Head to the comments section and weigh in on these skate-ready, suede-drenched Cons.

In mid-August, we showed you new additions to the up-and-coming Converse Skateboarding line in the form of the CTS High Perforated styles. Now, Converse will unleash a few more styles for its 2009 holiday lineup.

The lineup will consist of a plethora of sneakers including the CTS Mid, the CTS Low and the Pro Leather. The latter sneaker features a black/red-white color scheme which is seen on a number of sneakers these days. The CTS Low owns an all-suede grey base, while the CTS Mid possesses a primarily black upper. Each sneaker also contains a white vulcanized sole. Look for all three sneakers to surface at Converse retailers within the coming weeks. Click here to view more photos.

At the beginning of June, we showed you a Converse CTS Mid in which many of you really liked. In addition, In4mation now has an exclusive Converse CTS High in stock.

This particular Converse CTS High features an 100% “Digi Red” canvas upper mixed with a white rubber sole. As an added feature, the base also possesses a an all-over snake-like pattern. Other features include a extra padded tongue, a clear outsole, black laceholders, black shoelaces and a red inner lining. Click here to view additional photos.

The latest release is the Converse Skateboarding Black & Gold Pack features the ERX 300 ($90) high top, and the Cons CTS ($70) aka Chuck Taylor Skate version. The CTS is done up in perforated leather, in the form of a low top. The ERX 300 should get some attention from Supra fans, as the silhouette is similar to some of their popular models, with features like the gold foil accents and the ankle strap, Converse Skateboarding has the right idea on the future of skate shoes.

Can these ERX 300’s fit into your collection?

People have been skating in the Chuck Taylor for years, the original Chucks are lacking compared to the tech that is packed into today’s skate shoes, but these updated CTS versions definitely put them on par with the rest of the competition, if not above. The CONS CTS gets a little more cushioning, a little more padding in the tongue, and a thicker insole from the new skate version.

You can bet I’ll be rockin’ a pair of these as soon as I can get my hands on a pair. Especially with only a $55 price tag.
