Converse Celebrates 'Wonka' With Expansive Collab
Featuring two Chuck 70s, two Chuck Taylor All Stars, an All Star BB Trilliant CX and complementary apparel.
Timothée Chalamet is set to take on the role of Willy Wonka in the aptly-named film Wonka, arriving in theaters this month. As anticipation for the movie continues to build, Chalamet just revealed that he designed a collaborative Nike Dunk Low “Wonka” in celebration of the film, with 5 pairs being given away to lucky fans. Now, for the many who won’t win the giveaway, Converse has announced its own Wonka-themed collaboration.
Utilizing the Chuck 70, Chuck Taylor All Star and the All Star BB Trilliant CX, a total of five shoes have been assembled. The Chuck 70 takes on “Chocolate Swirl” and “Oompa Loompa” colorways while the Chuck Taylor All Star favors “Swirl” and corduroy-covered finishes. Lastly, the All Star BB Trilliant CX reimagines the golden ticket on the court-ready sneaker. On top of it all, complementary apparel has been produced, featuring thematic graphics throughout.
Release for the collaborative Wonka x Converse collab takes place via Converse on December 7, a week before Wonka hits theaters. Prices start at $75 USD for the Chuck Taylor All Star “Swirl” and go up to $120 USD and $130 USD for the Chuck 70s and All Star BB Trilliant CX respectively. As for the apparel, it ranges from $35 USD for the t-shirt to $80 USD for the crewneck.
