Converse joins GOLF le FLEUR* in a collaborative pack of sneakers that highlight the Gianno silhouette model for the Spring/Summer 2020 season. This time around, the pack features two tonal optoins of either 'Skylight' or 'Parfait Pink' for the rising temperatures.
The seasonally appropriate palettes blend the heritage elements of Converse with the playful sensibilities that is true to Tyler, the Creator and his brand. The Gianno sneaker silhouette is influenced by the artist's admiration of 90s and the fashion culture during that era. He also turns his attention to trail hiking and BMX biking influences as well. All of the sneakers come with a high-traction outsole informed by rubber materials and an EVA midsole for comfort.
