White converse are a staple of classic footwear. They manage to look sharp and casual, pristine and laid-back at the same time. That's why they're an ideal target for collaboration with modern urban streetwear brands such as Undefeated.

Sneaker aficionados can take street style a step further (no pun intended) with these co-branded white [Converse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-taylor-2), a collaboration between the timeless shoemaker and the streetwear brand Undefeated. The Undefeated white Converse feature both brands' labels on a solid red panel at the heel of the shoe. Other than the red dip, the Converse are in all-white leather with the typical tan Chuck Taylor sole.

This is neither Converse nor Undefeated's first successful sneaker collaboration. Undefeated has created shoes with [Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anarchy-is-the-key) and Nike, among others, while white Converse alone have seen take-overs by [Comme des Garcons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-sta), Oscar Niemeyer and Ace Hotel.
