Manhattan Days - A film by Pontus Alv for Converse Cons

Manhattan Days is a film composed by Pontus Alv celebrating the Converse Cons Polar Skate Co. CTAS Pro and featuring Cons and Polar riders Aaron Herrington, Kevin Rodrigues, David Stenström, Jerome Campbell, Dane Brady and Pontus himself.
Taking inspiration from back in the day when you skated all over the city we carted around some East Coast style plates and a pole jam in a skateable shopping cart and just let the skating happen. Enjoy.

A true testament to the fact that skateboarding isn't a competition. You can tell these dudes are having fun and it's contagious.

[@DarkeyyXV]

i find this so much more entertaining than watching nyjah frontside flip or sw crook a 12 stair. these are real dudes having fun and being creative as hell. not just some rich boy looking for sponsors and trying to be the best.

[@--6002]

same

[@--6002]

+Kyle Wanamaker beiber skates tho

[@MrPaulWesthead]

+GabeTheLameKid I agree with you to a certain extent however both styles appeal to different people, Nyja is still good at what he does, its just what he does appeals to different people that may not like this. Should just accept all types of skating as long as it gets you gassed up to ride yourself.

[@MrFackoffline]

That's why I like Mark Gonzales!

[@michaelgoda7150]

You mean style > athleticism

[@ethanbasement]

Thank you for saving Skateboarding Mr Alv, hope to see a "Bordeaux Days" in the future !

[@Betanmtb]

converse will never save skateboarding

[@kyalrowe7160]

Betanmtb He implied that Pontus saved skateboarding, not a shoe company...
Reading what you are replying to helps!

[@pluecherry7]

Betanmtb yup. wish pontus would have stayed on emerica

[@deepwebvip]

Skateboarding doesn't need saving.

[@kittensondxm]

+DEEP WEB VIP i need saving from the all boring skate vids

[@seanlymworth]

Polar = always the raddest vibes

[@Ronaldo114]

Sweet, the film production was nice & the creativity with was unreal width only 2 ramps & a pole jam

[@iAMjoshK]

This just straight gets me hyped on life. Such a beautiful video.

[@thealvaco]

That's what skating should be all about.

[@kevindurant352neil]

Holy crap, that beginning intro of the two polar logos blew my mind. It all makes sense now.

[@javierperez-us5ge]

its been a little over a year and still my favorite video !

[@hardniplezz69]

wow. now i must go to skate

[@wiartalexandre9349]

Crazy good, this is so fun and refreshing. Those who disliked this might as well quit skating, they really don't get what it's all about!

[@davidejuniordepaulascussel862]

essence of skate still alive!! we need more that in brazil!

[@leofriedwald9901]

I grew up in NYC, I grew up skateboarding. This video captures so much of what I love about both.

[@pawelwala5959]

The best montage I ever seen *-*

[@evanskates92]

I always watch this before i skate, the simplicity of it is what makes this video so enjoyable (for me at least). btw 3:42 . that was sew sik.

[@frostysworld5375]

A work of art!!! Keep it up Pontus.

[@Seannyoo900]

This is so rad. I love the message they're trying to send as well, just skate and go have fun. Do something creative haha.

[@JooHill]

[@finnegansardino9469]

beautiful

[@TheKffb]

this is what it's all about

[@GourmetGoblinz]

its hard to find a shoe that skates like the CTS Hi's. Perfect shape and the lunarlon insole will save your feet and your ability to support other skater-owned brands as well.

[@barneyreilly9485]

This video is a good

[@amadocastellon9547]

this is better than baker 3

[@christopherprice7634]

This is awesome but let's not get carried away now lmao

[@dauntlesspro]

Sick

[@Mf_Wiz]

This made me feel some type of way, but in a good way

[@skateski4ever]

Am I the only one that thinks its a bit ironic that converse is owned by Nike? I bet most people that rep converse would never put on a pair of Janoski's.

[@Combatrock96]

K-Rod is the best skater alive tbh

[@loftypavement]

Amazing

[@fictionwear]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

[@DalvinErquicia]

Where can i find the song forever by dungeon acid

[@smegma43]

Hi Delvin. Get it here dungeonacid.bandcamp.com/releases

[@DalvinErquicia]

[@onaxism]

Nice!

[@cresplove]

Hey brothers!! Shit is dope!!!

[@cory1newton]

Wow.

[@katlehx]

Damn

[@003196]

whats the song used?

[@christopherpickles8040]

the song Forever by Dungeon Acid you can get it here dungeonacid.bandcamp.com/releases

[@weatherkop]

had a pair of suede Dr J Converse in the 90s. Much safer shoe for your feet than the Chuck Taylors.

[@lamphan2219]

So...many...wallies...

[@strobolazer4082]

On 9 July 2003 Nike paid US$309 million to acquire Converse - you might as well purchase Nike SB shoes.

[@KadirKucuk]

what you're saying here makes absolutely no sense you're telling me I should buy nike sb just because cons is owned by nike? Nike sbs aren't half as durable as converse shoes the rubber of the sole is the best.

[@strobolazer4082]

kuchook What i was trying to say is, Converse is trying hard to be portrayed as underground and real. Hence why they paid Pontius to make some sort of an art-skateboard flick. They are however not. Whatever Nike touches goes to shit.

[@KadirKucuk]

strobo lazer Dude get over it people who hate on Nike spend way too much time hating that they forget to have fun in the end it's just shoes nothing skateboarding related. And converse isn't even trying to be portrayed underground and real it's pontus who made this video and it's also pontus his idea if you look at all the happy sad faces that's what pontus been drawing way before he got on cons

[@bradensmith661]

Cons are the shit, I don't care who they're owned by. Besides, everyone talks shit on Nike skate shoes, but they're nice as hell to skate in too. If they sucked, no one would buy them. Get over it. Some people like Nike

[@johnPankus]

Jacob Bates look at local smaller companies such as Scumco and Sons, theories of atlantis, and politic, these companies have their products made locally and are what i think are true underground companies

[@maxpvisuals]

URGH so fuckin good!!

[@legend-ob5cn]

so.fucking.sick

[@lwj4930]

this is skateboarding mate!

[@JackGitto]

I wish he got the film scanned at 1080

[@ConKelly92]

aaron fuckin kills
