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.

"I'm A Goner" is the new song from pop duo MATT & KIM, rapper and producer Soulja Boy and singer-songwriter ANDREW W.K. Coming straight out of the US, "I'm A Goner" is the newest Three Artists.One Song collaboration from Converse.

Check out a behind the scenes look into the making of "I'm A Goner" while the track was recorded at the Converse Rubber Tracks studio in Brooklyn, NY.

Desire is the exclusive new track and interactive music video from Paloma Faith, Graham Coxon and Bill Ryder-Jones and the latest chapter in Converse's ongoing collaboration of the UK music scene.

Following on from Didn't Know What Love Was, the incredible track and music video from Hot Chip, Bernard Sumner and Hot City, Converse have brought together another collective of iconic UK artists. This time Paloma, Graham and Bill take it in a brand new direction, collaborating on an amazing indie rock track. Their Desire record blends driving rock riffs with Paloma's soul and jazz-infused voice to bring to life the darker side of passion.

Converse has also created an interactive music video featuring the three artists. Inspired by neo-noir graphic novels, the video is a unique blend of animation and live action. The narrative unfolds to take us on a journey into the weird and wicked world of Desire. For the first time, you are also able to join Paloma, Graham and Bill in this strange and sensuous place. Using Facebook Connect, you can pull photos of yourself and two friends into the video, creating a personalised Desire experience.
