CONVERSE DEBUTS SECOND CHUCK TAYLOR ALL STAR II FUTURA COLLABORATION

[Charlotte J. Collins]

First there was weatherized printed rubber; now there are new reflective street-ready graphics. Elevating the

collaboration to the next level, Converse All Star debuts its second

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II with American artist Futura. Featuring original artwork by the legendary

Brooklyn-based artist, the Chuck Taylor All Star II Futura "Skyfall"

inspired collection takes the technological construction and comfort benefits of Chuck II even further with the

addition of reflective materials, creating a sneaker that gets you seen. Designed for both function and fashion,

the collection combines Futura’s iconic abstract art style with a weather-ready sneaker collection that’s built

for the next generation of self-expression.

A pioneer in graffiti art, Futura’s work is synonymous with ingenuity, originality and the NYC downtown art scene

of the early '80s. His work over the last 30 years has transitioned from the street, to the subway, and today into

galleries all around the world. This new pack inclu­des artwork that is original to Futura, entitled "Skyfall" a

unique technique that creates two optical illusions: one, that the onlooker is viewing an expanse of tree or

mountain tops, and the other, that looks as if the sky is falling. The new collection features all-over reflective

body with the original Futura "Skyfall" artwork and Futura branded box packaging and shoe bag. Available in both

hi-top and ox, the Converse All Star Womens Futura “Skyfall” inspired

sneaker also has varnished midsoles and two-toned reflective laces.
