To celebrate Latin Heritage Month, Converse has amplied the voices of creators for the Chuck Taylor All Star. The collection included the Chuck 70, the Chuck Taylor All Star and two ruffle tops. The sneakers represent diversity, duality and the vibrancy of the Latinx culture through prints inspired by the Dominican Republic, Mexico and Puerto Rico.
The canvas upper of the Chuck 70 features an all-over, color-contrast ¡Mi Gente!" print, serving as a call to action and unifying the core beliefs of family and identity within the collection. The minimalist shoe has unique details, including the Spanish letter “ñ,” which is given center stage on the All Star ankle patch. With ¡Mi Gente! By You, customizable Chucks allow for a personal take on the silhouette. The capsule releases September 16 at converse.com and select retailers.
