Hitting online stores this week is the creative collaboration, Converse x JW Anderson. Louise Hilsz says it may be time for some new kicks?
If you want to make a statement with your sneakers, we have the shoe for you. For a limited time, the latest collection to catch my eye is called 'Toy' a collaboration with designer JW Anderson for Converse. The Irish-born designer, has spent a lifetime collecting art and objects, which reflects in this new range, featuring Converse Chuck 70 styles. Expect an onslaught of colour, in acid shades of patent leather, along with pastel-inspired transparent soles. The detail includes chic foxing tape, oversize eyelets and fuzzy wide laces, that mimic the stucco of San Francisco. The entire collection reflects Andersons passion for arts and crafts - colourful, eye catching and unique - just the way we like our kicks.
The Toy Collection is available in NZ online here
