Givenchy x Converse Addict Chuck Taylor Hi-Top

It's kinda odd seeing those Tisci trademarks on a pair of Chuck Taylors. My favorite detail is the big cross logo on the tongue - large yet subtle.

Ryusaka Hiruma X Converse s/s 10



I have never seen Chuck Taylors look so luxurious and organic. Here's some info on them from the Converse blog:

Creating coveted versions of Converse’s most recognizable styles, Hiruma has replicated the silhouette of the Chuck Taylor All Star, Jack Purcell and One Star shoes using old-world construction techniques. Each shoe features beautiful, supple leathers –all hand-stitched from upper and rand to insole. Hiruma gives each shoe leather soles that echo finely made dress shoes, yet with ink printed logos and trademark detail that give them a playful, comfortable feeling. Each shoe comes in natural shades of tan, off-white and black leather with hand cut logos and detailing for the shoes uppers. The attention to detail includes elegant hand-stitched leather rands and toe bumpers and charming touches such as a hand-cut star cut out gracing the ends of each shoe’s leather laces.

Converse Japan Jack Purcells

Love the cylindrical laces and elastic sides. There is also something about the curve at the topline that gets me (maybe because there are also curves in the rubber at the front of the shoe.)

Terence Koh x Converse 1Hundred(red)

The simplicity of Converse's Chuck Taylor All Star has made them astoundingly enduring & this is the simplest Chuck Taylor I have ever seen - and my favorite.
