With just under a month until Valentine’s Day, Converse has revealed an assortment of 11 shoes for the occasion.
The Converse Valentine’s Day collection is headlined by a Chuck 70 with three-dimensional ribbon roses attached to the upper, as well as a Chuck 70 Luxe Heel Platform taking an edgier approach to the holiday in black leather and metal heart hardware. The former, less adulterated Chuck 70 features a cream canvas upper with heart and rose removable hangtags and both a heart and broken heart graphic on the outsoles in addition to the ribbon roses scattered throughout. An all-black look then defines the latter, as silver-tone metal hardware includes a series of hearts on the strap as well as a heart-shaped buckle.
A pink Chuck 70 Low also hosts the three dimensional roses, while more traditional flower embroidery defines a white Chuck Taylor All Star High and black Chuck Taylor All Star Low. Even more straightforward are high- and low-top versions of the Chuck Taylor All Star Lift Platform, in pink and red respectively, which go for cleaner uppers with flourishes on the outsole and insole. A Chuck Taylor All Star Dainty Mary Jane also remainss simple in black and white and features two heart shape buckles for its straps.
