Featuring classic silhouttes like the One Star, Chuck Taylor, and Jack Purcell, the collection plays with this season’s winter patterns, with reoccuring motifs of nordic sweater print, quilted fabric, and flannel plaid that can be seen through the release. Set to release next month, you can check out the comprehensive collection in its entirety after the jump.

A little over two weeks ago we showed you the result of a collaboration between Converse and Japanese brand Victim: a low-top Jack Purcell boasting blue leather material. We now have pictures of another Converse release that might very well remind sneakerheads of the aforementioned collaborative efforts. The Converse One Star Ox pictured here is cleverly nicknamed “Sturdy,” which could be a result of the help it may provide you in staying well-dressed during the cold season. One pair of “Sturdy” Ox previewed here comes in a black leather upper, with white Converse star on the mid-panel, white stitching, and a white vulcanized rubber sole. The second pair comes with a brown leather upper and is accented in the same way as the black pair. However, the brown pair comes with yellow/brown laces for added flavor. Having begun to pop up at select Converse retailers, what do you think of this limited edition, low-top Converse product?

The Converse Jack Purcell model has been undergoing some serious aesthetic changes, but for the better. This time, Converse gave the classic silhouette a material upgrade, as the Converse Jack Purcell Mid comes in two new colorways complete with waxed leather uppers. These Purcells come in black and burgundy, both with the classic white midsoles and black outsoles. The only difference is the upper, of which the black pair uses a black waxed leather upper with a little design to give the shoe a nice modern look. The burgundy waxed leather pair shows signs of pre-worn material to give the shoe a vintage feel. Both are available now for $132 each online.

Robert Indiana’s infamous pop art ‘LOVE’ sculpture makes its way onto the Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star in this collection of both high and low top models. Originally intended to be the cover for a Christmas card, the iconic nature of the sculpture is amplified by the use of the similarly influential Converse sneaker. A direct collaboration with the artist, his work can be found on the midsole and upper, along with his signature on the tongue/insole. Set to release in the Spring of next year, you can check out some more detailed images of the collaboration effort after the jump.

Some of the top lifestyle brands have worked for Converse’s 1HUND(RED) collection to not only give the consumers some stylin’ shoes, but to inflict some knowledge about charity on them as well. This time, SoCal brand Blends has collaborated with Converse to make the Blends x Converse 1HUND(RED) One Star. The One Star uses a premium black leather upper and a classic white striped midsole. Red lace eyelets are accentuated towards the ankle to promote the (RED) charity. The back heel tag definitely makes this a classic shoe, taking influence from the vintage feel of Converse. These will retail for $120 and will release at Blends’ stores in San Diego, Costa Mesa, and Los Angeles in three consecutive nights (7-10pm) starting October 22nd.
