Sneakerheads (and girls with boyfriends that are sneakerheads) rejoice: Legendary shoe brand Converse has teamed up with the streetwear heroes over at Undefeated to launch a range of footwear, apparel, and accessories that will be sold exclusively at sportswear and footwear retailer, Foot Locker. The Converse x Undefeated collection features the iconic Converse Pro Leather and Star Player kicks, as well hats and T-shirts emblazoned with Undefeated’s cool graphics.
"The collection really is the epitome of true partnership and collaboration. Both Converse and Undefeated have shared great success in past projects and it made sense that these collaborative works could grow in the same respect that the industry surrounding it was. We really endeavored to be true to the design language we had created across our previous projects, maintaining the duality of sport heritage and military based influence and this is clearly reflected in the material and detail execution across the collection. We also were very aware that both Converse and Undefeated have a large and ever-growing following and felt that by creating a holistic range, encompassing more than just footwear, we were in essence paying respect back to the community who have supported us both to this point and beyond.” Converse x Undefeated officially hits Foot Locker stores on March 29.
