Converse and Brain Dead work in collaboration to introduce the new Wild collection designed for the Fall/Winter 2018 season. The new joint capsule is comprised of a series of the Chuck 70s in different design options, clothing, and accessories -- all of which boast whacky loud designs. Brain Dead is often recognized for its craft in developing busy designs that draw inspiration from a variety of different underground subcultures that range from comics to skateboarding, to post-punk music culture as well.
The seasonal offerings boast design elements that are psychedelic and asymmetric, including camouflage prints and animal graphics. Some items in the range include small and large bags, jackets, hoodies, a tee, and a long sleeve shirt. The entire collaborative Wild collection is set to drop online at Converse and at select retailers starting on October 26.
