Converse's Nor'Easter Pack Celebrates Map Patterns of Storms

— October 8, 2020 — Fashion
Converse introduces its latest Nor'Easter pack of sneakers that is made up of Chuck 70 Hi silhouettes in a bright color palette. The design references map patterns of nor'easter storms and spotlights a macro perspective of extratropical cyclone in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Winds heavily blow from the Northeast, which is referenced in the pack's namesake. The storm map indicates components such as wave and metric of the storm. This data is translated into colorful designs as it adorns three of the brand's Chuck 70 Hi sneakers. There are the options of winter white with pink lavender, starlight blue with love potion, or storm front with yellow cream. All of the sneakers have a wavy pattern throughout the upper and feature rubberized overlay accents.
