Converse are teaming up with two iconic artists in the coming weeks to create new sneakers and apparel pieces. First up, the footwear giant is collaborating with both CLOT and the Andy Warhol Foundation for a Year of the Monkey pack, featuring a pink and yellow banana print across two sneakers, shirts, and accessories. Next is a collab with graffiti artist Futura, whose designs are hitting the new Chuck Taylor All Star II and a range of raglan shirts. There are some really nice touches on these sneakers, like debossed designs on the midsole, printed laces, and a camo outsole.
The Year of the Monkey pack will be available today in China and we're waiting to hear back on a US release date. The Futura collection drops on February 1.
