After being thrust out of the archives and into the limelight by Jerry Lorenzo’s FEAR OF GOD 12 months ago, the Converse Skidgrip has enjoyed a welcome return to the market in a slew of new options for the modern market. Now it’s time for designer John Elliott to reimagine the archival Converse style with a tactile rework in two ways.
Known for elevating street staples through unique textile approaches, the menswear designer replicates the striking imperfection of the aged patina with a meticulously flocked canvas. The two options features textured tones of green and brown in organic patterns across the upper, adding unexpected vibrance to the clean and timeless silhouette. Finished off with simple rope laces and an aged-look sole unit, the John Elliott x Converse Skidgrip collection will, like the silhouette itself, never get old.
Grab a look for yourself just below, and if you’re feeling John’s efforts, then both pairs are available right now, right here on Converse.com for $130 a pop.
