Tyler, the Creator introduces the all-new Artist Series capsule made exclusively with footwear label Converse to be exclusively available at Foot Locker. The new series is centric to artists and is comprised of two iconic sneaker silhouettes -- the One Star custom and the Chuck Taylor All Star 70 High. Tyler, the Creator selected two new artists to work on each shoe, channeling the talents of both Øyvind Lauvdah and Wyatt Navarro.
Wyatt is a close friend of the rapper and is assigned the Chuck 70 silhouette, completing it with bright and vibrant doodles accompanied by graphics that boast urban elements. Øyvind Lauvdah's designs adorn the One Star model and it is complete with monochromatic art that references his Norweigan heritage, specifically the gloomy winter season. The entire Artist Series is set to drop at Foot Locker beginning November 26th.
