Converse joins forces with Barriers - a brand which elevates heroes to amplify messages of anti-racism and progress - to introduce these sneakers. Collaborating with the iconic Chuck 70 silhouette, the NYC-based label draws inspiration from The North Star, a 19th-century anti-slavery newspaper. Pairing the premium canvas with embroidered text, co-branded details and custom star graphics, the silhouette unites the story and the two well-established brands.
