Converse asked Alex James and Vlad Elkin of PLEASURES, the LA-based skate brand, to come up with the latest iteration of the Pro Leather. Known for irreverent graphics, the designers emphasize the hi-top silhouette with white text and graphics printed on the black uppers, protected by an outer transparent layer. Using Tyvek as the base layer, the graphic layers cracks and crinkles will increase and spread with wear so each pair boasts its own unique, broken-in look.
“It’s a classic shoe and few have really tapped it creatively, so we’re excited to add the PLEASURES design aesthetic to the DNA of Converse, giving our fans their own version of the silhouette, while attracting some new ones along the way,” says Alex James.
The Converse x PLEASURES Pro Leather will be available on converse.com November 22.
