Slam Jam works in collaboration with Converse on a new take on the iconic Chuck Taylor All Star sneaker silhouette for the season. Putting their heads together, the shoes are a nod to the 70s with a focus on the punk culture that was prominent in the retro era.
The shoes have always been an integral piece in basketball culture, and with the new distressed detailing, it boasts a deconstructed design element. At the upper, the shoe boasts frayed detailing to show off a modern punk-rock design language. It sits on top of a white rubber outsole foundation with a pinstripe detail on the side. The upper is made from loose-lined black textile materials and finished with a Slam Jam logo.
