COMME des GARCONS PLAY for Converse – Pro Leather Collection
A direct result of the success of their previous collaborations, the new COMMES des GARCONS PLAY and Converse collab sees a bold “heart-with eyes” pattern adoring the classic Pro Leather chassis from the Converse archives. Shying away from the fanciness usually associated with designer collabs, the Pro Leather by PLAY sees a randomized pattern of the “heart” logo throughout the entire upper, making each sneaker a one of a kind pair of kicks. Presented in Milk, Black Mid and Ox silhouettes, there are plenty of options for the high fashion meets streetwear minded individual. Available in a teared release, expect these to hit NYC May 28th, Paris/London June 1st, and Tokyo/Asia June 21st. More photos after the jump.
