J.W. Anderson and Converse Unveiled the New_Classics Chucks
British fashion label J.W. Anderson joined forces with iconic sneaker label Converse in introducing the Chuck Taylor '70s New_Classics silhouette. The new drop highlights the consistent curiosity that Jonathan Anderson is filled with, while drawing a strong inspiration from vintage-style ballet slippers. The result of these concepts are the New_Classics Chuck 70 XX Hi-top and Low-cut versions.
Both of the high- and low-cut silhouettes boast materials such as cotton knits and leather-accented details. Each sneaker wears the color 'Turtle Green' or the option of black as well. The shoes are set to launch on April 4th online and in-store at Converse or J.W. Anderson— although the Chuck 70 XX Hi-Top in Turtle Green will only be available at J.W. Anderson.
