Those in search of some more unconventional footwear additions to add to their wardrobe are likely to find the new Converse Chuck Taylors appealing, due to their desert-inspired design.
The low-top sneakers are covered in small cacti, which are embroidered onto the white canvas uppers in a sporadic fashion. At the heels of the uppers, another small plant with yellow accents is also included, offering some contrast to the otherwise white and lime green colorway.
To maintain the simplicity of the design, Converse finishes off the sneakers with matching white laces, and cream-hued soles, which have an extended toe that goes over part of the uppers, and the brand's classic texturing on the sides of them.
