For the first time, Converse and Carthartt WIP – two historic brands connected to the world of streetwear – join forces for a collaboration that merges the design expertise of both brands. The result is a limited edition – Converse CT70 x Carhartt WIP – consisting of three iconic Chuck Taylor All Star ’70 Ox models, where Carhartt WIP’s classic fabrics, such as canvas or the ripstop fabric typical of work uniforms, are applied to Converse’s iconic silhouette. The sneakers pay homage to classic work uniforms, a typical motif of Carhartt WIP and already part of the brand’s heritage. Each model features triple side stitching on the eyelets and heel, marked red accents on the side of the sole, and two pairs of cotton laces.
The Converse Chuck ’70 x Carhartt WIP sneakers will be available for sale from June 1, 2017, at a price of €100, in selected Converse & Carhartt WIP stores or online at Carhartt-wip.com and Converse.com.
