Converse and A-Cold-Wall* Release New Chuck 70 Ox Style and Apparel Capsule

Converse is continuing its collaborative partnership with A-Cold-Wall* releasing a new collection that offers a subversive twist on streetwear.

The collection is inspired by attention to craft and detail with an emphasis on utility. A standout piece in the collaborative effort is the limited-edition Chuck 70 Ox, which features waxed canvas uppers, minimalist style cues and a patina effect.

The footwear, designed with the help of A-Cold-Wall*’s creative director Samuel Ross, comes in “Green” and “Dark Sapphire” colorways and was crafted by pulling inspiration from timeless Converse silhouettes.

Accompanying the revamped Chuck 70 style is an apparel capsule collection that includes shorts, T-shirts and long-sleeve polos cast in navy and stone hues.

To spearhead the collection’s campaign, Converse and A-Cold-Wall* enlisted help from multi-instrumentalist musician Takuya Nakamura, whose artistic mantra aligns with that of the collaborations.

The Converse x A-Cold-Wall* Chuck 70 Ox and coordinating apparel capsule is now available at A-Cold-Wall* and will arrive at Converse.com and select retailers on July 11. 

Created by Ross in 2015, the British designer brand A-Cold-Wall* pulls inspiration from streetwear culture and aesthetics, merging the working class uniform with impeccable tailoring via Savile Row. Ross was a former apprentice to Virgil Abloh who created Off-White. Since its conception, the designer brand has collaborated with Diesel Red Tag, Timberland, Dr. Martens and Nike.

Converse has also collaborated with a multitude of other big names in fashion, television and music throughout the brand’s extensive history, including Moncler, Kurt Cobain, Off-White, Comme Des Garcon, ADER error, Rick Owens, Devin Booker, Stüssy, DRKSHDW, FRGMT, the Simpsons, Telfar, JW Anderson, Undercover, Chinatown Market, Maison Margiela and Patta.
