Upcoming UNDEFEATED x Converse Weapon Makes Appearance at Paris Fashion Week
After delivering a four-piece of patent leather clad Air Force 1s in late 2022, UNDEFEATED is ready to move its next chess piece in the sneaker world with their forthcoming project that just surfaced at Paris Fashion Week. Reintroduced with a bang earlier this year via a collaborative endeavor with Hiroshi Fujiwara and his Fragment Design imprint, the classic Converse Weapon silhouette from 1986 is ready to stake its claim in the 80s hoops shoe market.
First Look: Moncler x fragment design x Converse Jack Purcell - EUKICKS
Hiroshi Fujiwara and Converse have been in the kitchen cooking up a plethora of new projects throughout 2023 thus far. We’ve seen them introduce a Converse By You Chuck 70 initiative as well as put together an apparel capsule, and now it appears that they’re reuniting to bring a Moncler x fragment design x Converse Jack Purcell collaboration to life. This would serve as a follow-up to the Godfather of streetwear’s past Jack Purcell team-ups from 2017.
Converse AS-1 Pro Ox in Two Colorways for June 2023
Alexis Sablone’s Converse signature sneaker, the AS-1 Pro Ox just launched in a choice of two colorways. The options include black/white and beige/burgundy in suede builds with leather detailing. Ridding on gum soles, the kicks are live at shops that include Atlas, Flatspot and Premier.
FRGMT x Converse Weapon
The Converse Weapon was introduced on the court in 1986, and it quickly forged a connection to teams, games and individuals who love basketball culture. Today, the Weapon is back in OG form through a new collaboration with fragment’s Hiroshi Fujiwara. Featuring a full leather upper, the Converse x FRGMT Weapon’s color-blocking lands along the Y-bar, collar underlay, Star Chevron logo underlay and toe box.
Converse All Star Pro BB Eclipse in Low & Hightop Form
The Converse All Star Pro BB Eclipse honors two elements of the brand’s rich basketball history. First, the split black/white design reminds of a period in history in which those were the only colorways of the Chuck Taylor All Star available — beginning in 1934, when white was added for the US national men’s basketball team, all the way through 1971.
Converse Pro Leather in White/Navy
The Converse Pro Leather was first released in 1976, and during the 1980s, it was no stranger to competitive glory. The shoe was victorious on collegiate and professional stages, and Converse itself was an official sponsor of the United States’ national team during the period. The latest colorway of the Pro Leather celebrates this rich history with a classic white and navy color scheme.
Converse "Mountain Tech" Pack: Chuck Taylor 1970 & ERX 260
Converse’s fourth quarter 2020 collection includes the Mountain Tech Pack, which includes the Chuck Taylor 1970 and ERX 260. The Chuck Taylor 1970 is ripstop textile built in contrast patchwork panels. The ERX 260 side of the collection is set in layers of textiles and rubber. The kicks just launched on the 14th of November at shops that include Up There.
PLEASURES x Converse Pro Leather
Converse has teamed up with PLEASURES, an LA-based brand known for irreverent graphics, to introduce a new side of the Converse Pro Leather. The collection emphasizes the silhouette as a vehicle for print, with black and white graphics protected by an outer transparent layer. Using Tyvek as the base layer, the graphics have a crinkled aesthetic that wears down over time, so each silhouette boasts its own unique, broken-in look.
Converse All Star Pro BB “Flames”
The flame pattern Converse All Star Pro BB is now available on Converse.com. Converse’s flagship performance basketball shoe, the All Star Pro BB, gets an energetic update inspired by Phoenix Suns’ small forward Kelly Oubre, Jr. Worn by Oubre November 14, the shoe’s upper features an emblazoned flames graphic and is embellished by classic Converse branding — a contrasting black Star Chevron and All Star patch — on the medial side.
Converse x GOLF le FLEUR* Gianno
The Converse x GOLF le FLEUR* Gianno will receive a global release on the 11th of November through converse.com. However, you can find them earlier at Camp Flog Gnaw. For the past few years, Tyler, The Creator has been steadily building with Converse. His exploration of the brand’s classics, the One Star and the Chuck 70, have allowed for experiments in color, fit, material and proportion. His latest output, the GOLF le FLEUR* Gianno, pushes the lessons learned to new boundaries.
Alexis Sablone x Converse One Star Pro
The Alexis Sablone x Converse One Star Pro will launch on the 1st of June through converse.com and select shops. The process of footwear testing for skater Alexis Sablone happens in that critical space between flick (when she flips her board into the air) and landing. When given the chance to work with the Converse CONS team on her favorite skate silhouette, the One Star Pro, Sablone looked to modify two details that would keep up with her powerful flick: additional grip and durability.
Converse to Release "All Star Pro BB" Performance Basketball Shoe
Converse will soon launch the All Star Pro BB. The sneaker is made for performance with a design that leans on Converse’s design heritage and its current parent company, Nike’s contemporary sneaker tech. Modern Design: -The upper is constructed using a single layer of Nike Quadifit mesh (which is like a modern canvas) and provides exceptional lockdown by distributing the load of the foot and mitigating friction.
Brain Dead x Converse One Star in Polka Dots, Zebra & Leopard
Los Angeles based label Brain Dead has connected with Converse to deliver a brash edition of the One Star. The extra loud look is achieved with contrasting sections in polka dots, zebra and leopard. Suede built, the sneaker features Brand Dead branding on the insole and lettering that traces the midsole. Check for the kicks on the 7th of February at select Converse dealers. Newcastle based END has the sneaker available on their Launches platform.
