Converse has teamed up with the Seoul-based fashion label thisisneverthat to release the 'New Vintage' collection, a concise capsule that utilizes unique materials and treatment techniques to capture the grunge ethos of '90s street culture.
More specifically, the collection includes new versions of the One Star and the Chuck 70, both of which are delivered in a well-worn, vintage-style aesthetic. The One Star's uppers are dressed in a dark blue buck, which rests atop black midsole. In contrast, the Chuck 70 is delivered in a soft cream suede with yellowed midsoles and bright white laces.
The new sneaker silhouettes will be accompanied by matching apparel items including a utility fleece jacket, t-shirt, pants, and a beanie, all of which align with the collection's retro theme.
