The Converse Block Party on July 21 brought people out to Harlem from Brooklyn, the Bronx and even New Jersey. The block party—one of the launch events for the brand’s Pro Leather footwear collection—featured pickup basketball games, musical performances by rappers Jim Jones and Stalley, and some eye-catching accessories.
