Miley Cyrus designs the special Converse Pride collection for the lifestyle label, offering both apparel and footwear. The colorful capsule sees iconic silhouettes such as the Chuck Taylor All Star Platform Hi sneakers as it takes a new multi-color stack iteration and is accented with a Happy Hippie Foundation logo in place of Converse's classic star detail. There is also the Chuck 70 Hi sneakers with multi-panel stripes across the uppers and the Chuck Taylor All Star in a low cut and decorated with multicolor polka-dots.
Notably, all of the Converse Pride collection's proceeds will go directly towards LGBTQ+ youth community partners globally. This includes the aforementioned Happy Hippie Foundation, RainbowYOUTH, Minus 18, and the It Gets Better Project. The label also draws in a group of talented artists and illustrators to spread the positive message of Pride across several mediums through posters that see a plethora of colors and typography. The Converse Pride collection is now available to shop online at Converse and at select Converse store locations.
