Collaborative Felted Sneakers

Converse and JW Anderson Drop Another Colorful Collection for Fall

The collaboration puts a spin on the iconic Chuck 70 High Tops. The footwear silhouettes engage both through playful color combinations, as well as distinct textural qualities. With subtle logo placement on the heel of the sleek felt sneakers, as well as on the side, the capsule offers a minimalist approach to brand presentation. Retailing at $150 USD, the Converse x JW Anderson collaboration is set to drop on October 11th.
