The Converse x A-COLD-WALL* collaboration continues to push boundaries with its latest chapter, unveiling a collection that blends craft and utility to create a subversive take on street style. At the center of this limited-edition release is the Chuck 70 Ox, featuring a waxed-canvas upper adorned with translucent and layered details. The design incorporates minimalist style cues and a patina effect that pays homage to the well-worn spirit of classic Chucks. To infuse a touch of nostalgia, the shoe also includes a vintage license plate.
Complementing Samuel Ross’s fresh interpretation of the Chuck 70 are several fashion-forward pieces. The collection's apparel capsule consists of a navy gilet, a dark green pine long-sleeve polo, and t-shirts and shorts available in both navy and stone colors. To celebrate the launch, Converse and A-COLD-WALL* have partnered with multi-instrumentalist musician Takuya Nakamura, whose experimental and rule-breaking craft perfectly aligns with the ethos of the collaboration.
Fans of the Converse x A-COLD-WALL* collaboration can get their hands on this exciting release at A-COLD-WALL* on July 6, followed by Converse.com and select retailers on July 11
