Converse's New Chuck Taylor Design Boasts a Playfully Bold Aesthetic

— January 22, 2019 — Fashion
With warmer weather comes pastel colorways, and Converse is preparing for the approaching change in seasons with the introduction of a pair of fuzzy patchwork sneakers.

For the unique addition, the brand uses its classic Chuck Taylor silhouette, featuring the same white rubber soles with black stripe accents and simple laces. With these minimal features, the pony hair finish and the vivid colors are at the focus of the design. In a patchwork fashion, the uppers include hues of lilac, baby pink, lime green, black, and orange, with each one featured in the same way on either side.

The fuzzy patchwork sneakers are currently available from retailers such as Oneness, where a pair sells for $95.
