Since its inception, the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star has used canvas to form the iconic silhouette of its high top sneaker. Canvas is something Shaniqwa Jarvis is intimately familiar with as an artist. Her photography is the inspiration for the design behind the Converse x Shaniqwa Jarvis Chuck Taylor All Star CX & Apparel. Jarvis’ creative vision is infused in the Chuck Taylor All Star CX as well as a black midweight cotton pullover hoodie which frames a digitally printed silk graphic of her work on its back.
The Chuck Taylor All Star CX uses a new stretch canvas that offers a more adaptable fit. The same graphic that is donned by the pullover hoodie in this collection sprawls across the canvas upper of this pair of Chuck Taylor All Stars, giving it an aesthetic every bit as vibrant as the artist’s work. Converse adds CX foam to the sole of the sneaker for additional comfort while the rubber outsole adds durability and completes the familiar look of the high top sneaker.
