Converse has announced the release of a pair of vivid snakeskin sneakers that supply a statement-worthy and luxurious look to its classic Chuck 70 Hi silhouette.
The sneakers are offered in an Enamel Blue/Print Python colorway, which features a bright blue and black pattern over the uppers, replacing the typical canvas material that brand uses for the silhouette with a snakeskin-embossed leather that gives it some sheen. Converse complements the bold colorway with accents of white on the backs of the heels of tongues. The brand also features its circular logo on the sides of the uppers, as well as on the backs of the off-white midsoles.
The luxe sneakers are available from retailers like Sivasdescalzo.
