Converse and Coraline are the latest two forces to join as the two celebrate the 15th anniversary of the iconic stop-motion cinematic masterpiece. The limited-edition range between Converse and LAIKA brings attention to some of the most notable moments, emblems, and characters from Coraline and decorates this onto Chuck Taylor All Star silhouettes.
The capsule is comprised of five Chuck models: The "Other World" Chuck Taylor All Star, The "Other Wybie" Chuck Taylor All Star, The Coraline Chuck Taylor All Star EVA Lift, The Coraline Chuck Taylor All Star 1V, and The Coraline Chuck Taylor All Star 2V Infant. Notably, this marks the second time the two are working together. The footwear is also joined by two apparel items: a Coraline t-shirt and a hoodie. The tee is designed with a puff print doll on the front and Coraline on the back. The hoodie is accented with buttonhole embroidery, a sleeve graphic, and a Beldam hand in rubber ink.
