The Footpatrol x Converse Collab Embraces American Heritage

— April 4, 2019 — Fashion
The Footpatrol x Converse collaboration is released for the Spring/Summer 2019 season. The partnership displays a new iteration of the Chuck 70 and the Jack Purcell silhouette. Both uppers embrace "authentic collegiate-inspired colorways and fabrics." The drop is incredibly sporty, Americana-infused and will, without a doubt, capture the attention of contemporary consumers.

The Chuck 70 boasts a split-color upper that embraces a palette of navy, purple and orange. The silhouette is informed by basketball aesthetics. The Jack Purcell model, on the other hand, hints at badminton with a 'smile' toe cap. In addition to the footwear, the Footpatrol x Converse collab also launches a collegiate-informed hoodie that boasts a similar aesthetic and features a reversible design.
