Maison Martin Margiela x Converse First String 2014 Spring/Summer Collection

Maison Martin Margiela and Converse First String present their new footwear collection for Spring/Summer 2014. Playing with the same concept as the first collection, MMM has chosen the Chuck Taylor All Star 1970s Hi and Jack Purcell Ox as the canvases for this collaboration. Working with leather uppers instead of last year’s canvas ones, MMM has hand-painted each a clean white. The paint is designed to flake off with wear, gradually revealing the bright leather base below. Both pairs will be available on May 23 at Maison Martin Margiela stores and select Converse First String retailers.
