Marine Serre Transforms Converse's Chuck Taylor Into Knee-High Boot
The next evolution of sock sneakers.
Seen on the runway of Marine Serre‘s Spring/Summer 2019 Paris Fashion Week presentation, the French designer’s Converse collaboration was mostly obscured by all-over printed jeans. The shoes, dubbed “Futurewear” CT70s, are much taller than initially revealed, however, reaching all the way to the wearer’s knees.
Crafted from lightweight stretch jersey, the tall sneakers sport medial-side zippers for easy access. Issued in two different makeups, they offer either an all-over print of Serre’s trademark crescent moon logo or a white base with “FUTUREWEAR” branding and a single moon in place of the conventional Converse branding. Both place a standard-issue badge print on the inner ankle and sporty Serre branding on the lateral side of the tan midsole.

Meanwhile, UNDERCOVER‘s comparatively normal-looking Converse CT70 collaboration dropped today.
