We have collaborated with Italian fashion house Missoni again, bringing an update to earlier collections and a follow-up to the raschel knit shoe which released earlier this month. The result is a classic hi-top Chuck Taylor All Star silhouette with Missoni's signature space-dyed knit in warm, earthy hues. Soft, black leather detailing feature on the tongue, heel tab and lining with black laces and a leather toe cap to complete the premium finish.


As part of Converse First String, the Missoni for Converse Chuck Taylor All Star shoe is a limited release with just 36 pairs available throughout Australia. Releasing on Saturday October 1st, it retails for AUD$180.

Converse has collaborated with London boutique retailer, The Hideout, to create this range of Chuck Taylor All Stars. As a part of Converse First String, the collection has clear Converse DNA and The Hideout's stamp of refined street style.

The collection comprises two low tops constructed in heavy duck canvas and a black high top in suede. Each style is crafted with triple-needle fabrication and features contrasting canvas heel stripes with stitched leather overlay detailing.

"We view the Chuck Taylor All Star Shoe as a perfected everyday item. Its design has transcended generations and subcultures and fits alongside Hideout's history with street style and our reverence to basics and utility," says Hideout founder Michael Kopelman.

The Hideout for Converse Chuck Taylor All Star shoes will be available from this Saturday July 16 at premium retailers, Up There Store in Melbourne, Footage in Sydney and Highs and Lows in Perth. Retailing at AUD$100, each shoe will be available in limited quantities.

Hitting stores in July is the All Star Boot Collection, a celebration of the great outdoors with rugged, heritage-inspired boots with fresh, modern takes on the classic American design. Building on our heritage of making footwear for hunting, fishing, and the U.S. military, the collection features styles for men and women with winter-ready premium materials and sturdy construction.

Choose from nubuck leather in the Classic and Outsider boots, to something more premium in the Bosey Zip with an Italian leather upper and zip features. The Outsider Boot with deep heel tread and thick laces is available in both men's and women's styles and is ideal for both the rugged outdoors or urban terrains. Other women's styles include the Beverly and Andover boot, both with suede uppers and cosy faux fur lining for winter comfort.

The All Star Boot Collection releases in Australia and New Zealand beginning July, available at specialty retailers and online here at www.converse.com.au
