Sneakersnstuff X Converse One Star
Written by Fashion TalesSneakersnstuff is the latest sneaker boutique to interpret Converse One Star. The Converse One Star continues to show up across global street culture, with celebrated sneaker boutique Sneakersnstuff (SNS) creating a limited-edition capsule in collaboration with Converse.
Fueled by a desire to modernize the Camo print, a staple on the scene, Converse x Sneakersnstuff introduces a bold twist on ERDL, a print developed by US Army Engineer Research and Development Laboratory in the 60s.
The One Star take on the military print comes to life through texture and color. Translating a traditionally graphic application into a unique patchwork of suede and leather, Converse and SNS focused on two palettes – the classic “canteen” palette, and an audacious “deep lavender” palette, which is exclusively available from Sneakersnstuff. The sneaker’s foxing tape features a military laundry tag and heel stay displays a debossed SNS logo. Additional features include goat leather lining, vintage cotton laces, co-branded sock liners, and the silhouette’s iconic star in Nappa leather.
The deep lavender palette also informed a capsule collection of apparel, which includes a GORE-TEX Coaches Jacket with wind and water-resistant fabric, silk screen reflective logo and adjustable draw cord at the hem. Rounding out the collection, a deep lavender Converse Essentials long-sleeve tee and egret short-sleeve feature military-inspired spec graphics and dual-branded logos.
Originating in Stockholm circa 1999, Sneakersnstuff has helped define street-style through distinct product curation and collaborations ever since. The collection will be available starting April 12, 2018 at Sneakersnstuff, Sneakersnstuff.com, Converse.com and select retailers.
