Friday evening is dedicated to organizing the weekend. Among the many activities that can be done on Saturdays and Sundays – law permitting – there is shopping. And since 20 September 2018 there is one more reason to do it: the One Star sneaker, the result of the collaboration between Converse and Carhartt WIP.
A combination that surprises for not having been thought of before. Yes, because there are many aspects in common for the two brands, one above all to have both a shared background: take inspiration from the sub-cultures, the design of their products is designed for contemporary men and women, lovers of street-wear. Furthermore, the duo has the same passion for a clean aesthetic.
The style of military bags meets a shoe with pure lines, which is able to dress both day and evening. In free time as an important event, to dampen the look. «From the beginning we incorporated fabrics and military details into our clothes, but with the One Star we wanted to do it with a clean and modern approach. The elegant contrasting sole and the robust Cordura fabric are the way we have translated this element of Carhartt WIP’s DNA into a contemporary and utilitarian sneaker.» To speak is Wilfried Atzert, the Brand Global Brand Director founded by Hamilton Carhartt.
Launched with an event in Milan, in full underground style, the model is on sale in the Carhartt WIP stores and online on converse.com and carhartt-wip.com.
