Collaboration of the Week: Converse x Missoni Sneakers for Surfer Dudes
Everyone’s favorite reference for the summer is the surfer, relax beach-y style but lets be honest, there are a lot of surf references out there and not all of them are worthy to be copied. However, when the king of the 70s shoes mates with an iconic Italian fashion house, famous for their knits, colors and their relax European luxe style, we sit up and take notice.
The new collaboration between Converse Chuck Taylor All Star ’70 and Deck Star sneakers takes references from the urban surfer as he travels along the southern European and north African coastlines in search of the next great surf break, and a slice of bohemian hedonism. Sounds like the ideal kind of surf style heaven!
Missoni’s signature toweling effect to loom knits have been applied to a multi-stitch jacquard for the Chuck Taylor All Star ’70 ox and Deck star slip on sneakers. The mix of cotton, rayon and flax creating a bold, rich textural surface with yellow and earthy accents makes these 2 styles the shoe of the week!
The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star ‘70 and Deck Star Missoni sneakers will be available for purchase starting Friday, July 17, 2015 at Converse flagship stores in New York and San Francisco, as well as with select premium retailers worldwide, $200
