The colorways offered in the Converse Carnival collection include blue and indigo, red and pink, as well as orange and military green. All of the colorways are finished off with clean white soles, which have accents of the colorway on the outsoles to tie the design together. The Converse Carnival collection is expected to officially launch on July 15th for $100 USD a pair, and will be available for online purchase, as well as from a limited selection of in-store retailers, such as Sole Finess.
