Releasing into stores this Saturday April 14th is our newest collaboration with Italian fashion house, Missoni. Into its fifth collection now, the new season offers two women's only silhouettes featuring Missoni's signature zig-zag raschel knit and a unisex style using their famous multi-stitch space-dyed cotton.

The signature zig-zag raschel knit is given a subtle metallic sparkle, with uppers featuring in both green and cream colour ways. Leather rands and Chuck Taylor All Star patch detailing, result in an ultra-luxurious, hand-crafted look and feel.

Alongside these, is a unisex offering which features Missoni's exclusive multi-stitch, space-dyed fabric in sharp hues of navy and white. Typical of past Converse and Missoni collaborations, it includes premium leather on the tongue's upper, logos, heel-pull-tabs and toe caps.

As part of Converse First String, the Missoni for Converse Chuck Taylor All Star collection is a limited release. RRP AUD$180.
