Converse announces its return as a key partner for the highly anticipated Street Lines Skate Tournament. This is South Africa’s skateboarding competition. It is set to take place on 27 September 2025 at the iconic Thrashers Skatepark in Pretoria.

Converse had a hugely successful debut partnership in 2024. They are back for a second year. This move further strengthens their support for the tournament and the local skateboarding community. This year’s event will feature an exciting Converse-inspired obstacle course, giving competitors a fresh and innovative challenge. Skateboarders and fans will get the chance to trial the Converse Cons footwear on site. Exclusive online purchasing options will be available during the tournament.

For Converse, this partnership goes beyond sponsorship. It is a celebration of skateboarding culture. This culture is deeply embedded within the brand’s global and local legacy. Converse’s long-standing influence spans decades, with its Pro Skate line and skate-focused innovations integral to pushing skate culture forward worldwide. Locally, Converse has a history of involvement in events such as the UltX skating competition. This involvement underpins its commitment to nurturing talent. Converse is dedicated to growing skateboarding in South Africa.

Tebogo Mothlamme, Marketing Manager at Converse South Africa, commented, “Skateboarding has always been at the heart of Converse. It embodies creativity, individuality, and self-expression, values that define who we are. We have supported UltX. We have also become a core partner of Street Lines. Our mission remains to grow the culture and provide platforms for skaters. These platforms allow skaters to showcase their unique talents. We’re excited to see how South Africa’s best skaters will push their limits this year.”
