Barriers Worldwide Teams up With Converse for Capsule Collection
For Converse, collaborations are now a part of its DNA. Whether it be colorful takes on new silhouettes with the likes of Tyler, the Creator or futuristic looks from A-COLD-WALL*, Converse continues to explore the possibilities of collaboration. Now, it looks to Barriers Worldwide which operates as a NYC-based brand that seeks to educate through style. The duo is launching a collection that details a historical journey, offering a voice to those that don’t have one. Drawing inspiration from The North Star, a 19th-century anti-slavery newspaper, the collection utilizes a star motif as a link to the story behind the capsule.
The range includes both footwear and apparel options. Starting off with the collaborative sneakers, the Chuck 70 and Pro Leather each carry unique looks that feature vibrant contrast laces paired with cowrie shell lace dubraes. The shells were a universal form of currency that was especially relevant in ancient African societies. In addition, apparel options are comprised of a t-shirt, shorts and hoodie. Each piece utilizes Barriers branded elements and the star motif.
