These Converse (Product)RED Chuck Taylors are available at David Z for $100. Time to get kicks and give the middle finger to AIDS.

The Coolest rapper joins forces with Converse to create the low-cut version of the Converse PRODUCT (RED).

Wrapped in black patent leather, these sneakers are very unique and eye-catching to say the least. Red accents are visible on the tongue, midsole, and laceholders.

The PRODUCT (RED) campaign’s goal is to increase awareness and raise money for humanitarian efforts. Click the jump to see Lupe’s low-cut version of the Chuck Taylors PRODUCT (RED) provided by Hypebeast.
