To celebrate the release of the highly anticipated 7 MONCLER FRGMT HIROSHI FUJIWARA capsule and the upcoming opening of Moncler’s new West Coast flagship store, (located at 340 North Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills), HYPEBEAST captures LA skater Kane Caples as they ride around the city in select pieces from the collection. Hailing from Riverside California, just 50 miles east of LA, Kane is no stranger to the city’s best skate spots, and we were lucky enough to shoot them as the showed us their favorite locations. Decked out in arguably one of the most anticipated releases from Moncler‘s consistently culture-shifting Moncler Genius Project, Kane shows off the reworked Converse sneakers that form the footwear component of the collection.

Fujiwara‘s take on both the Chuck 70 and the Jack Purcell silhouettes capture his brand’s distinctive, highly impactful graphical approach, while retaining the timeless style that made both classic skate shoes. This iteration of the Chuck 70, a worthy descendent of the legendary Chuck Taylor All Star, carries the bold, unapologetic FRGMT branding on the rim of its sole – that features a polished rubber as opposed to the more traditional textured design. The shoe comes in two colorways, a black or navy premium cotton canvas, and is a testament to Fujiwara’s respect for the original design with its core DNA remaining intact.

The second footwear rework comes in the form of the Jack Purcell, available in FRGMT’s signature black, and it boasts some subtle design features sure to impress Converse aficionados. Contrast top-stitching helps the shoe define its shape, while a ‘fine-tune’ has been applied to the ‘smile’ on the toe shine of the shoe. Like its sibling, it also carries the bold ‘FRGMT’ type on the sole.

Find out more about the wider collection and be sure to pick up both sneakers, available from Moncler boutiques, the Moncler web store and global retailers now.
