Converse and Babylon join forces in creating a collaborative collection of footwear and sportswear. The retailer and footwear label both contribute their talents and releases a re-imagined version of the classic Chuck Taylor silhouettes, along with a selection of sportwear garments as well.
The two labels offer a re-invited Fastbreak sihouette as well as the Chuck Taylor 70s, remade in different materials and a neutral color tone. The Converse and Babylon LA collaborative collection also features velour tracksuits, jerseys, hoodies, and basketball shorts. The notable component to the partnered project is the use of materials -- the collection makes use to reflection 3M materials and suede materials to construct the pieces. The collaborative work is available on the Babylon website.
