The sneaker landscape is, er, pretty crowded, but Converse proves that you don’t need to be flashy to stand out. On August 3, the brand drops a pastel-hued collaboration with Tyler, The Creator (and Golf le Fleur, Golf Wang being his merch label). The collection consists of a spruced-up suede One Star sneaker, $130, in enticing colourways like “Sulphur,” “Airway Blue,” “Peach Pearl” and “Fuchsia Glow” plus hoodies and T-shirts. Where the runners really impress is with multiple intricate details—imagine a flower stitched around the star, an embroidered bee on the heel, a sunflower insole and the Tyler quote “Don’t let ‘em kill your flowers, water your garden and stunt” etched on the sock liner and outsole. All that summer sneaker-ness goes for $130.
Fresh from the release of his much-talked-about Flower Boy album, the 26-year-old rapper and Kendall Jenner pal makes the case for head-to-toe-pastels while modelling the shoes. The campaign images are certainly not hard on the eyes, either. Check out the drop’s visuals below and score the limited-edition unisex collection in-stores or online.
