ADER ERROR and Converse work in collaboration on the Re-found collection which breathes new purposes to heritage silhouettes. The New Classic range brings an archival influence with progressive aesthetics. The Wave Trainer is one of the models that have been reimagined along with some apparel.
The sneaker is the highlight as it is doused in the themed blue tone and the sneaker has a curved design which is joined by a dynamic fusion of materials. The upper is made from mesh materials and then layered with materials including suede, cowhide, and shaggy suede. This creates a retro energy with additional designs including an asymmetric leather accent along the heel along with a knotted strong so that it has a detachable cover.
