[Converse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sneaker-loafer) delivers a new iteration of the GLF 2.0 sneaker model for the season that is made possible with the help of Vintage Aesthetic and Contemporary Build. The silhouette is adorned with a colorway palette that blends together the hues of Oil Green, Bison, Curry, and Copper Tan.

These four colors make up two different palettes that are set to join for the season. The [old skool silhouette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adererror) is detailed with modern touches for a juxtaposing design language throughout as it also nods to the Gianno model as an inspiration. The base foundation is made from [canvas materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kung-fu-slipon) and has suede overlays on top. Retro features can be seen in the textured midsole foundation and Converse license plates.
