Converse debuts the Parra x Converse Chuck Taylor, the first First String shoe release from the (Paint the Town) RED collection. For Parra’s version of the Chuck Taylor, he chose to create a khaki suede version featuring a playful take on prep. In true Parra spirit, the pattern is a departure from the standard repeat print and features a more ironic version with cherries complete with legs and stiletto heels.
“I wanted to incorporate the color red, and cherries came up. I wanted to go for a kind of preppy look, but I didn’t want it to be so serious, so I incorporated the cherry character!” says Parra. Even the lining evokes that country club feel with a menswear cotton twill in a stand-out dark pink. Accenting the shoe, monochromatic bright white rubber makes up the shoe’s rubber rands.
Parra’s limited edition Converse (PRODUCT)RED Chuck Taylor comes in sizes US8-13 and will be available exclusively at Precinct 5 in Amsterdam on Thursday August 19, 2010. Suggested retail price is €100,00.
