  • Converse and Golf Wang slip into style with nature-inspired collection

    Converse and Golf Wang slip into style with nature-inspired collection

    MUMBAI: When fashion and skate culture collide, the result is anything but flat-footed. Converse and Golf Wang have dropped a fresh spin on their long-running collaboration with the debut of the one star CC slip pro, a slip-on skate silhouette that’s as textured as it is stylish.

    It’s a first for the partnership, drawing on Converse’s 1960s Deck Star Gore and Sea Star Gore designs, while also nodding to the brand’s 1970s One Star heritage. Tyler, The Creator, known for raiding Converse’s archives, gives the One Star formula a Golf Wang twist turning history into something boldly irreverent and unmistakably current.

    The collection is served up in three earthy iterations, each named and shaded after natural landscapes:

    ●   Forget Me Not (Concrete), a muted blue suede recalling soft, cloudy skies.

    ●   Forest Elf (Grass), lush green suede that feels like walking on a forest floor.

    ●   Black Beauty (Dirt), rich, dark suede mirroring fertile soil.

    Every pair features a two-tone hairy suede upper, egret foxing tape with a varnished finish, and a co-branded sock liner stamped with landscape-inspired artwork. Underfoot, skaters get practical perks: ConS traction rubber for grip and board feel, and CX foam cushioning for comfort that lasts from tricks to hangouts.

    Priced at Rs 6,999, the Converse x Golf Wang one star CC slip pro is available now on converse.in and select retail partners. For sneakerheads and skaters alike, it’s a design that proves slipping on can still mean standing out.

  • Converse x PLAY Comme des Garçons celebrate 15 years with single hearts design return

    Converse x PLAY Comme des Garçons celebrate 15 years with single hearts design return

    Mumbai: In 2009, Converse and Comme des Garçons commenced a partnership that brought CDG’s ‘Hearts and Eyes’ logo onto the Chuck Taylor All-Star for the first time. Across the ensuing 15 years, this iconic collaboration has both helped inform the modern approach to footwear collaborations and produced more than 20 iterations that have been celebrated and sought after across cultures. In celebration of the partnership’s 15th anniversary, the brands have joined forces to reissue the design that started it all—the Converse x PLAY Comme des Garçons OG Single Hearts pack.

    While the collaboration’s debut design appeared on the Chuck Taylor All-Star, Converse and CDG are bringing the OG Single Hearts onto the pinnacle Chuck 70 and Chuck 70 Ox for the first time.

    The Converse x PLAY Comme des Garçons OG Single Hearts pack keeps the logo details untouched from 2009’s OG offering. Since then, the PLAY line’s signature logo has appeared across several Converse silhouettes—the heart-and-eyes logo: a signifier of the collaboration’s minimalist yet optimistic and unassuming style. The logo has been seen peeking out amongst polka dots and multiplied and magnified across the canvases of Converse’s most beloved styles.

    The styles within the OG Single Hearts pack will include the Converse x Comme des Garçons OG Single Hearts Chuck 70, priced at INR 12499, and the Converse x Comme des Garçons OG Single Hearts Chuck 70 Ox, available at  INR 11,999  in sizes UK 5 to UK 15. CDG’s ‘Hearts and Eyes’ appears along the lateral side of the Chuck 70s, which arrive in classic Milk and Black colourways with white foxing and toecaps. The limited-edition Chucks are crafted in premium canvas for an elevated feel, and feature cobranded sock-liners, OrthoLite cushioning for all-day comfort, and a vintage license plate.

    The Converse x PLAY Comme des Garçons OG Single Hearts pack commercializes on  27 September on Converse.in

    Private labels coming soon on Jabong

    MUMBAI: As the e-commerce wars continue, online fashion retailer Jabong.com is all ready to jump in. According to PTI report, the company is planning to launch private label brands in the next 4-5 months.

     

    Talking to PTI, Jabong.com’s founder and CEO Arun Chandra Mohan said,  “We are setting up a full-fledged design team in London because we also want to create our own brands that provide good, fast, western fashion to the Indian consumers. We are in the final stages of setting up a top end design studio in London. It will be a team of the best fashion companies in the world that are going to be focusing only on creating the design. There is an immense opportunity to develop our own brands.”

     

    Jabong.com sells over 1,500 brands like Adidas, Puma, Levi’s, Converse, Proline, Nike among others. It also has apparels from leading fashion designers.

     

    Mohan added, “About 55-60 per cent of the company’s revenue comes from tier II and III cities.
