The American shoe brand Converse and the Dutch streetwear label Daily Paper are launching a joint collection.
The two brands share the same values of creativity, inclusivity and togetherness, Daily Paper said on Friday. Together they have created a collection inspired by global emancipation movements and cultural pride. This is symbolized through quilt styles, embroidery and the Pan-African colors – green, yellow and red.
The collection includes the ‘Chuck 70’ and ‘De Luxe Squared’ sneakers, as well as a padded jacket, a hoodie, a T-shirt, a polo, a long skirt and wide trousers. All items are made in black and are complemented by the colorful accents of the Pan-African flag. Details such as colorful laces complete the look.
“We are very excited to collaborate with Converse on the ‘Colours of Independence’ collection, a project that celebrates our shared passion for community and self-expression,” said Abderrahmane Trabsini, Design Director of Daily Paper. “This collection is a tribute to the resilience and creativity of young people around the world.”
The collection will be available from October 1 at Daily Paper physical and digital stores, via the Converse webshop and at select retailers.
