Tyler "the Creator" Okonma and Converse have again collaborated to reinvent one of the latter's classic sneakers. This time, Okonma's renowned apparel brand, Golf le Fleur, is infusing its eclectic and vibrant style into four reimagined versions of Chuck 70 low-tops.
The new Fleur Camo Chucks feature refreshing colorways of le Fleur's iconic digi camo print, which resembles a pixelated leopard pattern. Fans can choose from striking options such as neon pink and red, a multicolored rainbow design, a combination of white and blue hues, or a subtle monochromatic green.
Each pair from the Fleur Camo collection incorporates Okonma's personal touches and a hidden Easter egg on its sole—an image of a bellhop carrying suitcases.
These stylish sneakers were released online at a price point of $120 per pair.
