Christmas is just around the corner and to prepare, Converse joins forces with GOLF WANG on introducing the new collaborative One Star Grinch sneaker. The shoes draw direct inspiration from the iconic character originally created by Dr. Seuss dating all the way back to the 50s. The shoe's design is made to recall his fuzzy green fur to follow the track by 'Tyler, The Creator' entitled 'I Am the Grinch.'
The uppers are complete in a hairy green finish, resting atop of a white midsole to contrast. It has a white lacing system and branding accent over the tongue tab. Both labels complete the insole along with a red finish and the heel nods to the overarching theme with the Grinch motif including his menacing eye embroidered.
