PLEASURES and Commonwealth reach deep down inside with their upcoming Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Sale UK collaboration, the All Star ‘Dual Personalities’. It’s probably not an attempt to share their darkest secrets, but it certainly is a striking colab. The classic Converse model has been built up in pastel canvas, printed with the Pink Panther on the left and a list of their favourite things on the right.
If there ever was a shoe to perfectly encapsulate the phrase ‘change is good’ it’s the Converse All Star Cheap UK. The model has slowly been improving since the 30s and its latest revision sees it go down a premium route. Leather and suede sprawl across the upper, with leather repelling any exterior forces on the lateral side while suede hugs the inner. The midsole has also been raised just a smidge – it’s an extra protective measure, but it also adds a unique aesthetic.
Converse and Finnish textile house Marimekko come together for this new Converse All Stars Chuck Taylor 2 UK pack, covered in Marimekko’s colourful signature retro prints. Plastered in sunny flowers and dotty spots, each shoe comes in a matching Marimekko carry bag. Available now from Sneakersnstuff.

The insole reads ‘You Are Here’, a slogan that appears at all Ace Hotel properties. Part of the Ace Hotel uniform, 300 pairs are now available at the the chain’s online shop.
