If you’ve been looking for a new pair of Converse, but don’t want to cop an all-white pair for the umpteenth time, Nike‘s got you covered.
Converse has collaborated with Carhartt WIP –which stands for Work in Progress– which allows Carhartt to sow its oats in streetwear lore like Stussy and Supreme.
But Converse wanted to up the ante for its Chuck 70 silhouette by using vintage Carhartt pieces for the sneakers’ panels so not only is it sustainable but pretty dope looking.

“One thousand pre-owned canvas Carhartt work jackets, trousers and overalls, sourced from UK–based fashion and vintage retailer, Beyond Retro, were sorted into three color ranges and then cut to create individual Chuck 70 shoe panels,” explains Nike.
The branding remains pretty close to the Converse ethos with an all-star patch on the ankle and a discreet Carhartt WIP patch on the tongue.
