A recent Stussy Converse collaboration resulted in a selection of new low-top models, which have a refined yet rugged appearance. This comes from the textured suede that makes up the uppers -- which brings a bit of an aged appearance to them.
The two brands offer three different versions of the updated 'One Star '74' model. This includes a light cotton-candy pink colorway, as well as teal and all-black Stussy Converse sneakers.
The streetwear brand's name and logo are shown on the tongue of all three, while Converse's classic star decorates the sides. Black soles that maintain the original One Star '74's look finish them off. Those looking to purchase the collaborative model can find them both online and at select Converse locations.
