In honor of Black History Month, Converse proudly presents its highly anticipated 2024 Black Joy collection, a captivating capsule collection of footwear and apparel meticulously crafted by Converse's Black design team. Central to the Black Joy collection are two new iterations of the iconic Chuck 70 and Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers, along with cropped and standard-fit T-shirts.
At the forefront of this campaign are six multi-talented Black creators: Denise Stephanie Hewitt, Carly Heywood, Ana Rice, Sef Akins, Xavier "X" Means, and Rivers Chowdhry-Cahee. Together, they have masterfully curated, shot, and produced the campaign titled 'The City Is Our Canvas,' paying homage to the rich artistic heritage of the Harlem Renaissance and New York-born creativity.
The Black Joy collection can be purchased on the Converse website.
