CONVERSE x BARRIERSBarriers doesn’t make passive fashion. It’s active and engaged—teaching, learning and making a statement. Barriers elevates heroes to amplify messages of anti-racism and progress. On the Chuck 70, the NYC-based brand draws inspiration from The North Star, a 19th-century anti-slavery newspaper. Pairing the premium canvas with embroidered text, cobranded details and custom star graphics, the silhouette unites the story and the two iconic brands.WHY YOU SHOULD BE DOWNLimited-edition high-top sneaker made with Barriers; Barriers logo woven label on tongueClassic canvas upper in black; unbleached canvas liningHand stitched embroidery on left and right lateral; embroidered eyelets on left and right medialThree vibrant 10mm wavy strip poly lace options; cowry shell inspired lace jewelCustom star graphic on outsole and custom graphic on sockliner
