A collection for the fans: Vince Staples x Converse
In their latest reprisal, we get a look at the Vince Staples x Converse collection. The talented wordsmith has quite the history with the brand.
Staples rapper has been a huge Converse fan ever since his younger days. He’s spoken about how versatile their designs are. The Chuck 70 in particular is a favorite of his. Staples first got his chance to leave a mark earlier this year.
Towards the end of January, he dropped a collaborative collection. It celebrated his album, “Big Fish Theory” and was very well received. Now, the pair return to release some more heat.
The highlight of this drop is going to be the Thunderbolt Ox. It’s easy to imagine having his own shoe is a big dream for Staples. The Thunderbolt sports a base layer of White mesh. On top of that, we see Black stitching and reflective details. Lateral branding sits on the quarter panel in a contrasting Grey.
To be sure, it’s a low-key look. But, the stitching is pretty intriguing. It almost looks drawn on.
Other pieces of this collection include apparel options. The focus here will be the varsity jacket. It’s in a blend of wool and polyester. It sports a regular fit and comes with Orange and reflective White piping on a Black base.
The rest of the drop includes sets of track pants, crew sweatshirts, and a long-sleeve tee. Each of these comes with more of the same color scheme – subtle bases mixed with bright accents.
The return of this collection signals more heat in the future from Vince Staples and Converse. It’s an interesting partnership and represents the brand’s vision moving forward. Along with Kelly Oubre, Vince Staples has an appreciation for Converse that could spell a comeback for the brand.
Check the entire collection out when it drops on December 18th.
