American footwear brand Converse has teamed up with fashion designer Todd Synder to launch the 'Rebel Prep' collection. The new collection boasts an expansive assortment of items, all delivered in a distinct retro style that merges classic tailoring with streetwear design codes.
The collection consists of garments ranging from fishtail parkas in a Millerian waxed canvas to high-quality rugby shirts and pilot-themed helmet bags. The highlighting items, however, come in the footwear category. 'Rebel Prep' delivers eye-catching updates to Converse's signatures silhouettes: the Chuck 70 and the Jack Purcell.
The new Chuck 70 Hi Top comes equipped with a wax canvas upper and a water-resistant British Millerain. Meanwhile, the Jack Purcell Ox arrives in a similar canvas construction but boasts a slick camo finish and a unique cork sock liner.
