Converse x Kim Jones: The Capsule Collection

The Chuck 70 Converse takes a new form with Kim Jones’ new vision.

The designer notes, “The approach to the design of the sneaker was very straightforward: taking a very classic silhouette and proceeding to enclose it in something to protect it,”

The collection also consists of four RTW pieces as well: a parka, a round neck sweatshirt, cargo trousers, and a T-shirt.
