Footwear giant Converse has teamed up with Peanuts, the iconic comic strip series featuring Charlie Brown and friends, to launch a new sneaker series called the 'Converse x Peanuts' collection. The offering comes on the heels of Converse's collaboration with WNBA champion Natasha Cloud, which made its debut last month.
The playful new collection features three Peanuts-themed versions of Converse's most sought-after shoes, the Chuck 70, the One Star, and the Chuck Taylor All-Star. The new Chuck 70 comes adorned with a Woodstock camouflage pattern throughout the uppers and midsoles. Meanwhile, the One Star boasts a more minimalist black look, donning a single graphic Snoopy and Woodstock graphic. As for the Chuck Taylor All-Star, the sneaker arrives in a white and red color scheme and features several iconic Peanuts characters on its side panels.
