Comme des Garcons x Converse collaboration

Pairs have been worn in roughly five hundred different films and TV shows, and partnerships with groups such as the Andy Warhol Foundation have led to collaborations with other brands in an effort to merge the aesthetic contributions of other artists with the timeless design and allure of the Chuck Taylor. Out of one of these collaborations came the Comme des Garcons (CDG) x Converse Chuck Taylor.

For the specific shoes I've been wearing, I painted the heart myself. I'd bought a pair of white All Stars a while ago and I'd gotten bored with the monochrome white exterior and wanted to paint something onto them. Knowing of the CDG versions, I picked up bottles of white and black acrylic paint and got to work. While CDG painted a red heart onto the shoe, I thought having a black heart logo would fit with more outfits (given how grayscale, black, and white colors compliment any other color). I liked the design they'd created because I thought it was minimal enough not to be distracting but also just noticeable enough that the shoes didn't look like the original All Stars.
