Image: Sneaker News
Converse has experimented with reinterpreting their classic Chuck Taylor’s through their recent collaborative efforts. Although there is nothing wrong with the classics, it can often times be refreshing to see other brands’ take on iconic silhouettes and how they tell their story through footwear. Here, we’re taking a look into Converse’s second collection with designer Feng Chen Wang for her fused-together take on the Chuck 70.
Taking inspiration from Feng’s “My Half” collection, it portrays two distinct sneaker halves being fused together. First seen on fashion runways in New York and Shanghai, the notorious 2-in-1 Chucks from Feng Chen Wang are hitting the streets in two bold color combinations: Persimmon Orange/Natural Ivory and Natural Ivory/Black. The disruptive take on the premium Chuck 70 breaks apart the iconic design and and reimagines it, featuring an extra canvas overlay, an exaggerated outsole split into quadrants with unique double foxing and a heel loop for wrap-around lacing. Feng Chen Wang branding is seem on the heel spine, laces, and insoles. Only Feng Chen Wang can design a Chuck 70 like this.
