Converse Cons ‘Kentucky Denim’

$200Style A16148C

Converse brought back a shoe worn by the University of Kentucky basketball team in March 2026, celebrating their 1996 national championship with a reissue of the denim sneaker that matched their infamous denim uniforms. The Kentucky Denim Converse has become one of college basketball’s most iconic footwear moments. Raw denim construction matching the historic jerseys, co-branded Kentucky basketball details, and the classic Cons construction made this a collectors’ priority for both sneaker enthusiasts and UK basketball fans. The championship anniversary timing gave the release real commemorative weight. The Converse Cons Kentucky Denim retailed at $200 and released March 13, 2026 through Converse and select retailers, timed to March Madness.
