Hoodies, t-shirts, button-ups, pants, and tank tops, arrive in gender-neutral cuts, dressed with digitized versions of Somebreuil’s hand-drawn artworks. More specifically, Somebreuil's graffiti-like pieces have been turned into two patterned prints: 'Realms and Realities' and 'Come Tees Floral.' As for footwear, the capsule delivers an eye-catching pair of Chuck 70s with the words "Realms" and "Realities" printed on both its lateral sides. In addition, the sneakers feature a hand airbrushed design and bold tiger stripe pattern. The Converse x Come Tees “Realms and Realities” collection is set to launch on February 15th on Come Tees website.
