In the reinterpretation of two historical Converse silhouettes, the duo works on functionality and irreverence.

Converse and Ambush present two new silhouettes that delve into their roots in Converse’s heritage products, creating a fusion of genres in a single product.

Yoon Ahn, co-founder and creative director of the Tokyo-based brand AMBUSH, seized the opportunity to push the boundaries of traditional clothing through a new lens, incorporating stylistic references from modern Converse silhouettes.

The Chuck Lugged was originally created for women but has since been adopted by Converse as a genderless, functional sneaker that serves as an ideal base, according to Yoon’s vision. Converse and Yoon sought to pair the utilitarian CTAS Duck Boot with an irreverent Chuck 70. The creative team played with the construction of the Chuck 70, leveraging its blurred details for a more tactile realization.

Converse x Ambush CTAS Duck Boot and Chuck 70 Fuzzy are now available globally on Converse.com, ambushdesign.com, and select retailers.
