A follow up to the Converse Spring 2007 collaboration with Junya Watanabe Man, Comme des Garcon's Rei Kawakubo worked closely with Converse to create the four styles in the series.
Borrowing a silhouette from a 1950's vintage Chuck Taylor All Star model that was originally produced for the US military in the 1950's, the cotton canvas shoes feature unique, high rands and ultra-premium construction details and a hand-crafted feel.
Converse has a long history of being on the feet of those who have chosen to disrupt the status-quo and as one of fashion's most innovative designers world-renowned for its avant-garde style, Comme des Garçons was a natural choice for a Converse collaboration.
