Converse x Missoni Winter 2014 Collection

Teaming up for their ninth consecutive collaboration, Converse and heritage knitwear legend Missoni have issued a new set of All Star Chuck 70s sneakers crafted with some of the illustrious Italian house’s signature fabrics. Genuine sheep wool lining has been used on the first model, with shearling wildly emerging from the sneaker’s upper (the press release assures that you can trim back the wool should you want to avoid looking like the Yeti), while the second model pays homage to Japanese ‘boro’ patchwork with three different suedes creating a mismatched effect and lined with luxurious Angora hair.

The sneakers drop December 5 at a select few accounts worldwide – including Converse stores in New York, Santa Monica and San Francisco, as well as Dover Street Market in New York and London, colette in Paris and Berlin’s SOTO.
