Rapper Tyler the Creator and 'Converse' have collaborated, designing a limited edition pair of kicks.
The partnership produced a pair of summer-ready light blue sneakers embellished with the classic Converse star. The insoles of the shoe are decorated with gentle and feminine sunflowers which offset the artists' explicit album title that's boldly printed on top of the floral design. The low top sneakers feature a light blue suede while the soles are orange to match the shoe's laces. The shoes will be gifted to the 21,000 guests of last year's 'Golf Wang' fashion show -- which showcased Tyler the Creator's upcoming fashion collections.
The bright converse sneakers seamlessly complement the artist's clothing line, which emphasizes bold patterns and vibrant colors. The shoes will be available for purchase for a limited time.
