Building on the notable success of the Spring 2010 collaboration between Converse and COMME des GARCONS PLAY, the two brands have reunited for Spring 2011. The four new styles echo the sublime simplicity of the first collaboration with the classic Chuck Taylor All Star shoe, but instead bring PLAY’s signature heart-with-eyes logo to another Converse classic: the Jack Purcell. The collection includes two black canvas and two natural canvas shoes, with one of each color graced with the black heart COMME des GARCONS PLAY logo and the other with a red heart version. As a part of Converse First String – Converse’s premium product line that celebrates craftsmanship, authenticity and pure expression – the shoes will be available in limited quantities come March 2011.
PLAY Comme Des Garcons, designed by Rei Kawakubo herself, is a collaboration with New York graphic artist Filip Pagowski. Combining vivid colours and fabrics with an internationally recognized logo, PLAY brings a twist to classic streetwear. That iconic logo was designed by Filip Pagowski and is found on each piece of clothing, creating an esoteric style that envelops the entire line. PLAY's ongoing collaboration with Converse and other distinguished brands has placed the Japanese line in the forefront of the streetwear fashion industry worldwide.
