Dubbed the Converse One Star 'Toxic,' this slime-inspired sneaker was designed in collaboration with Swedish rapper Yung Lean. Known for his moody persona and unforgettable street style, the rapper recently joined forces with Converse and launched his signature sneakers at the brand's One Star Hotel activation which opened its doors in the heart of London last week.
In addition to getting a chance to visit a room curated by Yung Lean, a group of style influencers also got a chance to purchase the exclusive shoes which remix the classic Converse One Star design. The sneakers boast bright green, slime-inspired detailing which adorns their sole. The electric-hued detail glows in the dark and is covered with a tribal print insignia in black.
Other details on the Converse One Star Toxic shoe include multi star graphics and a dog motif that can be seen on the back of the heel.
