In addition to his Human Made collections and Nike Air Force 3 collabs, NIGO has also been keeping busy as Creative Director of KENZO. The French luxury house has announced the release of its first collaboration with Converse, a trio of Chuck 70s inspired by 1980s fashion.
Each pair comes adorned with NIGO’s vibrant “Hana Leopard” print, calling back to KENZO’s era-defining graphics while also nodding to Converse’s earliest explorations of fashion-based patterns. Taking the ’80s inspiration further, period-specific design cues of the Chuck Taylor were reinterpreted for a modern era. The design includes a geometric winged stitch on the medial and lateral sides of the upper, as well as a screen-printed Chuck Taylor patch featuring intentional imperfections to resemble the original. The high-top also includes a “pinched” collar for added dimensionality.
The KENZO Chuck 70 is offered as a Hi in a yellow accented “Sweet Corn” colorway, as well as in two Low colorways: “Pink Cosmos” and “Cypress Green.” Each pair features KENZO’s iconic boke flower on the outsole and comes equipped with a keychain of the house’s new Kenzo Pop graphic.
NIGO’s appreciation for all-American style also comes to life visually through the campaign imagery. Centered around the collegiate lifestyle, the shots depict the idyllic freedom of campus life and the youthful spirit of exploration.
The KENZO x Converse Chuck 70 collection drops April 17th on Converse.com, Kenzo.com, at KENZO stores, and at select global retailers. Check out all three pairs below.
