Sweater-Inspired Shoe Collections

Converse's Sweater Pack Was Inspired by Ugly Holiday Sweaters

Converse's 'Sweater Pack' collection is celebrating the holiday season in style, offering unique and limited-edition shoes that boast classic holiday motifs. The holidays are going to look a little different this year, but that's not stopping brands like Converse from spreading joy with seasonal releases.

This line serves as a perfect example of that, as it's a stylish and cheery line that drew its inspiration from the "ugly sweater" holiday trend. The shoes feature bold, eye-catching and somewhat tacky aesthetic that's intentionally playful and carefree. One of the standouts include the Converse Chuck 70 hightop that's covered in a repeating graphic of trees and snowflakes. Another iteration features a black shoe with white snowflakes throughout.
