Wood Wood x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star
Posted by Nick Engvall | Sep 22, 2008 As part of Converse’s inspiring creative 1HUND(RED) Artists’ footwear collaboration with PRODUCT (RED), the brand pays homage to its heritage as an optimistic rebel with the unveiling of a future icon: The limited edition Wood Wood Chuck Taylor All Star® hi-top. Known as Artist 26 throughout the unique project, Wood Wood’s shoe features premium suede leather upper in powder purple as well as monochromatic matching laces and coordinating rubber soles. Wood appears on both the Left and Right shoe’s tongue upper while each shoe has perforation detail that reveals a hidden constellation pattern.The year-long global curation project was designed to promote and preserve culture to further support Converse’s long-term partnership with (PRODUCT) RED. Artists were sent a design kit consisting of a blank Chuck Taylor shoe, pens, pencils, RED background info, and art materials to help assist them in their creative process. Each of the artists returned their unique takes on the classic sneaker silhouette for Converse to begin manufacturing the shoes in the collaboration. More info and pics after the jump. |
