KICKS/HI x Converse First String Chuck Taylor All Star

Converse announces the launch of its KICKS/HI for Converse Chuck Taylor All Star shoe for Holiday 2011. This limited edition release marks Converse’s third collaboration with KICKS/HI, boasting a special tiger camouflage version of the Chuck Taylor All Star while celebrating the shop’s 10th anniversary. For the project, KICKS/HI chose to subtly reference the tiger shark by using a special tiger camouflage pattern to adorn the upper of the shoe. The shoe’s olive, tan and brown pattern is pinpoint laser-printed on the upper, tongue and toecap. Keeping the design clean, KICKS/HI uses traditional white Chuck Taylor All Star rubber sidewalls, yet with a fresh, subtle pop of orange on the shoe’s outsole, lining and on a triangle of leather gracing the left shoe’s tongue. Availability begins Saturday, October 22, 2011 at KICKS/HI in Honolulu/Guam and St. Alfred in Chicago. Retail is set at $70 USD.
