Converse and Marimekko

A playful marriage of Finnish patterns and classic American sneakers
maricon11.jpg

Unveiling a new model, reissue and pitch-perfect collaboration, Converse’s triple-threat announcement today builds on the brand’s commitment to making everyday sportswear with playfully wearable style. For their spring collection, Converse partnered with
Marimekko
, sourcing patterns—the colorful Tarha (1963) and the looping scaly Pikkusuomu (1965) by Annika Rimala and the tiny triangles of the Kirppu (1980) by Maija and Kristina Isola—from the Finnish textile house’s archives.

The work of some of Marimekko’s most iconic designers, the graphics also speak to Marimekko’s modern art influence—as explained in the
mini-documentary
Converse made about the project.

The partnership brings the bold prints to both classic hi and low Chucks (around $80) as well as to two more surprising profiles—Helen ($75), a slightly more feminine Purcell named for Jack Purcell’s wife and reproduced stich-for-stitich, along with the PJ ($75-85), a brand-new look that’s slim and thin-soled, like a classic ’50s sneaker.

Packaged with equally cute shoe bags in matching prints, look out for the collection this spring on
Converse.com
and at premium retailers.

Steven Alan for Nike Sportswear

Our video peek at a collection of sneakers designed by a new American classic

by
Gregory Stefano

Call it a win for the marriage of technical details and fashion or just call it a win for style, either way Steven Alan’s collection for Nike Sportswear (launched today) has us wondering why the collaboration didn’t happen sooner. The five styles all draw on Nike’s archives and add Steven’s impeccably clean twist, which he explains in more detail in our video interview with him here.

This first collection from their new partnership drops tomorrow in Steven Alan stores and online.
