Barriers Worldwide are the latest to join forces with Converse on a collaborative collection alongside one another. The brand is based in New York City and it aims to educate on worldly matters through style. This time, it dives into history as it is inspired by The North Star, which is a 19th-century anti-slavery newspaper.
It is translated through a star emblem that links to the overall narrative that lies behind the collection. The range features both apparel and footwear options including the Chuck 70 and the Pro Leather silhouette. It has bright contrasting laces over the forefoot for a pop of color and the apparel includes a tee, shorts, and a hoodie -- all of which are marked with branded details.
