Converse introduces a look at the new All-Star Coinloafer model with two colorways to drop: an all-black iteration and a black and white colorway. It is now available to shop online and boasts a classic elegance with its signature silhouette. The progressive model takes the iconic Chuck Taylor base and turns it into an elevated loafer hybrid.
The silhouette is inspired by the classic penny loafer with a sleek and laceless upper opened with a slip-on entry. The brand's heritage elements also decorate the model with a durable canvas upper nodding to the classic sneakers. The signature rubber toe cap joins the model as well, and it is complete with an outsole with diamond patterns.
