Converse introduces the latest pieces to join the Patchwork pack of shoes and it arrives in the silhouette of the iconic Chuck 70 Hi shoes. It boasts artisanal textiles and a canvas build throughout the upper that has been given a special woven pattern for a play on the textural look.
The pack features two colorway options including the twill with egret and light gray. The second colorway to join the pack is a blend of peach with sheer lilac and egret. Both of the sneaker model are complete with silver eyelets at the forefoot and Sail tonal toe caps, sole units, and midsole foundation. The standard logo patch can be seen on the medial side.
