Following his GOLF le FLEUR* x Converse “Burlap” pack, Tyler, the Creator now unveils an exclusive Artist Series collection. Made in collaboration with Foot Locker, the hand-picked range boasts two unique takes on the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 70 High and a One Star custom. The multifaceted rapper selected emerging artists Wyatt Navarro and Øyvind Lauvdahl to design each shoe.

A close friend of Tyler, Wyatt’s dreamy doodles and street-inclined designs are observed on the Chuck 70 silhouette. On the other hand, Øyvind’s work on the One Star features pared-down tones which invoke the melancholic ambiance of his hometown in Norway during the winter months.

The Converse Artist Series curated by Tyler, the Creator will exclusively launch on Foot Locker’s website and stores starting November 26. Get a closer look at the collection in the slideshow above and then let us know if you’re willing to cop. In related news, stream Tyler’s new holiday EP, Music Inspired by Illumination & Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch.
