Converse is collaborating with Berlin-based skate shop Civilist to celebrate the city the shop calls home with two signature Converse models – the One Star Pro and the Chuck Taylor All Star Pro. The Converse CONS x Civilist pack will pay homage to the history of Berlin by featuring two of its most prominent landmarks. Both shoes have translucent bottoms that peer through to images of the Berlin TV Tower and Berlin Radio Tower on either foot to represent both East and West Berlin. The shoes also display an outline of the city of Berlin on each tongue. The CONS One Star Pro is constructed of a primarily white upper while the CONS All Star Pro features a primarily black upper – a contrast designed to represent the merging of both sides of Berlin. Since the models are designed for skating, they will incorporate Nike Lunarlon for enhanced cushioning and traction rubber outsoles.
The collection will be exclusively available from Civilist’s Berlin store and online store from November 18th to November 20th, at which point it will be available at select retailers.
