Casual footwear label Converse collaborated with Midnight Studios on two of its most iconic silhouettes. The two partnered up to give Converse's Chuck Taylor 70 and One Star a new look, delivering a design that looks as if the piece has been flipped from the inside out. The joint project adorns the two footwear models in an off-white colorway detailed with contrasting black accents.
Some of the key details of the high-top Chuck Taylor 70s are the co-branded details found on the lacing systems on top of the inside-out design. The Converse logo typically on the outside is found in the interior, whilst the sizing and care instructions are on the exterior design. The same is done with the One Star model, with the classic star embroidery done inside-out. Both of the sneakers are now available for purchase online at HBX.
