MMM x Converse collaboration

A One of A Kind Sneaker Experiment

"Converse Inc. announces its all-new collection with avant-garde French fashion house Maison Martin Margiela. The first-time Converse Maison Martin Margiela collaboration features the Chuck Taylor All Star and the Jack Purcell sneakers, each completely hand-painted in Maison Martin Margiela’s iconic white paint. Covering all canvas, eyelets, laces and soles, they naturally crack and shed their outer coat of paint to reveal the original colors beneath."

"The personality of the Converse Maison Martin Margiela 1970s Chuck Taylor All Star and Jack Purcell sneakers is discovered through an evolving dialogue between the bold colored canvas and clean paint. The more the sneakers are worn, the more their personality and color is revealed. “The Maison has always been obsessed with white; it is used as a layer to give an incognito feeling. A sort of poetry, with the passage of time, the shoe asserts itself,” says Maison Martin Margiela."

This is one of my favorite collaborations ever. And the fact I love chucks more than heels has everything to do with it. I love how they are just dipping the colored shoes not just producing "some" design. And how the "real" design comes over time as you wear the shoes. Amazing!

Converse X Missoni

Although we are more used to see and adore designer collaborations with H&M, this is something different.
Collaboration between Converse and Missoni is something that I have to say I really really like. I am a true Chucks lover and had them from early ages. This spring collaboration did an amazing job. The pattern on these mint Chuck Taylors is to die for. A perfect spring mint combination, for casual (or maybe even more) moments in time.

Missoni signature zig-zag pattern is something new and fresh, just perfect for girly romantic pastel outfits. although we have all seen so many (great and amazing) patterns converse used as an inspiration for their Chucks, this one I like esspecially. It is pure amazing fresh delightful CHIC! And I was surprised to find out it is their 5th collaboration. Shame on me.

This limited editiond is (only) $ 200 per pair. So start daving your money. I think this would be a good investment for me if only my wedding wasn`t eating away all of my money. No matter the color, popular mint at the moment, Missoni, for me is an all time pattern, which can always give you a hint of chic. Even in sweats.

p.s. if you look a bit closer, maybe you will notice a little sparkle too ont he fabric :) even more chic, right?
