Topo Chico, everyone's favorite mineral water from Mexico, is bringing the heat with a brand-new collaboration. And while it won't quench your thirst, it will absolutely satisfy your hunger for style.
You see, on Thursday, Topo Chico announced a limited-edition collaboration with an equally iconic brand — Converse. The collaboration includes both sneakers and apparel to have you kitted from head to toe.
The collab drops on May 2, as a "nod to Topo Chico’s Mexican heritage alongside colorful visuals from the brand’s iconic glass bottle," the two companies shared in a statement provided to Food & Wine.

To make the collection come to life, Topo Chico and Converse collaborated with Mexican American street artist, Victor “MARKA27” Quinonez, known for his colorful works that can be found throughout Brooklyn, Boston, and the world, who brought his own take on Converse flair and married it with his own “Neo-Indigenous” Mexican style with "the effervescent authenticity of Topo Chico," the brands shared in a release.
As for what fans can get their hands on, first, there's the Fast Break, which Converse and Topo Chico describe as the "‘80s basketball classic-turned-skate shoe offers a suede and leather upper, staying somewhat subtle while also evoking Topo Chico’s signature “bottle-green” in its tongue patch and colored outsole." With this one, Quinonez infused his own style through the gold line graphics along the ankle collar to add just the right hint of color to the shoe. These will retail for $75.
Next is the ever-classic Chuck Taylor low-tops, which now "boast bodega-vibes with Spanish word graphics like Qué Sabrosa! (English translation to ‘How Tasty!’) throughout the canvas upper. The midsole layers Topo Chico’s iconic yellow bottle cap over the classic Chuck stripe." These kicks will retail for $70.
And finally, there's the Hi-Top, which comes with "Tattoo-inspired prints and colorful graphics, including embroidered red rose petals, embellish the canvas upper while the condensation-dripping Chuck patch and translucent-green outsole are reminiscent of the signature Topo Chico bottle that fans know and love." These shoes, which will inevitably sell out in seconds, are going for $90.
You can pair your new shoes with a Topo Chico x Converse tee or hoodie, both of which feature graphics designed by Quinonez. The tee retails for $35, and the hoodie for $75. Get your hands on them quick at Converse.com.
