Feng Chen Wang and Converse mark a significant five-year collaboration milestone with an innovative Chuck 70 iteration, symbolizing a new era in footwear design.
This collaborative silhouette embodies Wang's exploration of layering and duality, introducing a two-in-one concept for the classic Chuck 70. The shoe features a canvas layer on top, adding a unique visual element. The double-layered foxing tape gives the shoe extra durability and style and the outsole is designed with a distinct direction, split into four parts for added interest. Branded laces and logos on the sides contribute to the overall look. The shoes come in two color options, off-white and dark green, with a distressed finish for a stylish worn-in appearance.
