1st String x Maison Martin Margiela Chuck Taylor 1970s HiConverse

Description

The latest round of collaboration between one of the original sneaker company's and one of contemporary fashion's most innovative designers, the Converse 1st String x Maison Martin Margiela Chuck Taylor 1970s Hi is back for SS14. A typically left field design from MMM, they have literally used the Chuck Taylor 1970s Hi as a canvas, hand painting each shoe individually in clean white, creating a transient, minimal white coating. Intended to create a distressed aesthetic and a finish absolutely unique to each shoe, this white paint is design to flake off, gradually revealing the shoe beneath over time. A fascinating approach to the art of collaboration and one of the most highly anticipated footwear releases of 2014. Individually Hand Painted Leather Construction Leather Lined Internal Maison Martin Margiela Numbers Logo Metal Eyelets Vulcanised Outsole Highly Limited Release Each pair of Converse 1st String x Maison Martin Margiela Chuck Taylor 1970s Hi's are individually painted by hand and as a result the finish will differ from shoe to shoe and is designed to degrade over time.
