Varsity Jacket-Inspired Chenille Shoes

UNDEFEATED and Converse Unveil a Cozy 'Chuck 70 Ox' Sneaker

— December 5, 2018 — Fashion
Streetwear imprint UNDEFEATED works alongside footwear label Converse on a new iteration of the 'Chuck 70 Ox' sneakers. The main inspiration behind the collaborative shoe is drawn from the construction of collegiate varsity jackets, specifically the athletic graphic. The highlighting detail drawn from the pieces are the chenille embroidered accents, as the footwear model boasts an all-over design using the same craftsmanship.

The accents feature a tiger emblem, letterman verbiage, and UNDEFEATED's chain stitches on the felt-crafted tongues. The color palette features hues of black, orange, and red, contrasted with a white tonal lacing system and midsoles. There are additional branding details on the heel in the form of Converse's signature patch that sees the star emblem and "Converse ALL STAR" graphic.
Trend Themes
1. Chenille-embroidered Shoes - Creating shoes that are inspired by collegiate varsity jackets and accentuated by chenille embroidery can disrupt the market with their unique design.
2. Athletic-graphic Fashion - Designing clothing with the athletic graphic and feel of classic varsity jackets can innovate and modernize traditional sportswear.
3. Sneaker Collaborations - Partnering with prominent brands can lead to new and innovative designs that cater to both brands' audiences.
Industry Implications

2. Fashion - The fashion industry can explore incorporating athletic graphics and designs into modern clothing to appeal to a wider, younger audience.
3. Branding and Marketing - Marketing and branding agencies can take advantage of successful collaborations between well-known brands to produce marketing campaigns that highlight the unique and innovative designs.
