Converse's 'Suede All Star WV GM' Model Can Be Worn Through the Winter
Riley von Niessen — December 12, 2017 — Fashion
When most consider buying suede shoes, they tend to consider the upkeep and care that's involved with the sensitive material, however the new 'Suede All Star WV GMs' from Converse prove that durability and weather resistance can be combined with the soft and stylish material.
The Suede All Star WV GM comes in just one colorway for now, which combines a sleek black upper with a caramel-hued gum sole. The laces are black as well, to maintain the minimalist aesthetic that can easily be dressed up or down.
Although the sneakers make use of Converse's classic high-top silhouette, their waterproof exterior allows them to be worn throughout the frigid winter months, and into the spring when heavy rain hits.
