Perhaps you wait until the 4th to be patriotic or perhaps flags aren't your thing.  However, you have to admit that these Grid Logo Chuck 70 Hi Archive Print Sneakers from Converse's on-going collaboration with JW Anderson are mismatched coolness.  In stars and stripes fashion, the upper of this iconic American sneaker is bedecked in the American flat print with stripes on one foot and stars on the other.  The printing is laid over another print featuring the cheeky designer's name in a grid pattern.  The effect is both American and avant and is available now at Ssense.com.

I kind of love it when the classic canvas of a pair of Converse undergoes artistic interpretation.  Such is the case with this Golf le Fleur pack from Converse and the collaborative artist, Tyler The Creator.  The pack consists of a Chuck Taylor 70 Hi done up in curry beige burlap with an egret off-white toe-cap & sole and reverse black printing on the vamp and black branding on the tongue.  The Chuck Taylor 70 Hi also comes in an egret off-white canvas version with blue and brown striping on the sole.  Rounding out the pack is a One-Star Ox sneaker in the curry beige burlap color way.  Pretty cool surface treatments for a classic.  All three style are available now at Ssense.com.

A little askew can be very refreshing.  The ongoing collaboration between Converse and designer JW Anderson is given an interesting low-key pop here with this Chuck 70 Hi-Top.  The upper is a subdued olive felt even down to covering of the midsole and sole.  The details like the tight topstitching, the JWA side heel branding and the slight color variance for the midsole and sole make this sneaker up to be an understated winner.  Available now at KithNYC.com.

Since it's almost winter then why should your classics become season-ready as well?  The Chuck Taylor All-Star Hi Sneaker has gotten trick out for the Fall/Winter with the Black Gore-Tex© Edition.  The upper is a crisp black canvas made with Gore-Tex© and also features tonal webbing trim, rubber sole and striping detail on the heel.  Also, in case you forget how tricked out the upper is, they've printed the rear vamp with a half branding and outer Gore-Tex© label.  What can't you pair Converse Chuck Taylor's with, including now, the Fall/Winter weather.  Available now at Ssense.com.

I covered the first drop of this sneaker in white back in March, but a cool pair of kicks deserves an updated mention.  Here is JW Anderson's collaborative efforts on the Converse Chuck Taylor 70 Hi Grid Sneaker again in a black color way.  In cheeky JW Anderson style, the designer works his name as art onto the entire hi-top upper that is then anchored onto the thicker 1970s model Chuck Taylor rubber midsole.  The overall graphic effect is a cool balance of black and white even if you're not so much into branding; but then again why wouldn't you be when it's in the hands of JW?  Available now in black and also red with a restock of the white as well at KicksHawaii.com.
