Stussy x Converse (Patchwork)

 

After a teaser image and a video preview, we can show you the first proper picture of the upcoming collaboration of the Stussy New York Crew and Converse on the Pro Leather ‘Patchwork’ sneaker.

The high top sneaker comes with a navy suede upper, a series of patchwork fabric details and a premium vegetable tanned leather heel. We have learned that the sneaker will release on August 25th, 2012, exclusively at the Stussy New York Store.

Judging from the video preview, there also seems to be a red colorway, but more on that soon.
