U.S. footwear brand Converse has launched its summer-to-school collection in the Philippines, featuring new and upcoming releases, including platform sneakers and limited-edition collaborations with global designers and brands.
Headlining the drop is the Chuck Taylor All Star Double Stack, a modern take on the classic silhouette with a 2-inch platform and CX foam sockliner designed for added comfort. The new line comes in both high-top and low-cut versions and is available in seasonal colorways such as Violet Heat, Lemon Slushy, and Blueberry Ice, alongside classic black and white.
Converse is also releasing several global collaborations in the local market this May. The Converse x Feng Chen Wang collection will be available in select stores on May 20, featuring a sculptural reinterpretation of the Chuck 70 with cracked textures and layered details inspired by Jian Ware ceramics.
The Converse x Kenzo collection, already available at Converse Glorietta and online, highlights the fashion house’s archival ‘Hana Leopard’ print on Chuck 70s in high and low-top designs, incorporating retro elements such as 1980s winged stitching and custom tongue tags.
On May 22, the brand will roll out the Converse x Naruto Shippuden series, combining anime iconography with streetwear. The collection includes footwear such as the Chuck Taylor All Star and Converse Weapon, along with apparel inspired by characters from the Japanese series.
Converse products are available in the Philippines through Power Plant Mall, select Ayala and SM malls, and Robinsons Department Stores.
