Converse celebrates with the new Pride Pack this year comprised with a selection of colorful footwear and apparel designs that specifically highlights a date -- June 28th, 1969. This is the day that the Stonewall Riots made a strong statement for the LGBTQ+ community and the rights they should have.
The collection highlights Chuck Taylors and Chuck 70s in addition to the apparel. The designs are accented with a bolt emblem and decorated with glitter throughout in order to emphasize self-expression. The range also puts a spotlight on the label's inaugural sneakers that are made with inspiration drawn from the Trans flag. The apparel designs are made to reference the late 60s and the early 70s as the nod to the historical event.
