Released in 1917, the Converse All Star has become a translocal icon for its simple canvas upper, rubberized outsole, and metallic eyelets. Initially sported by Chuck Taylor as a high-performance basketball sneaker, the minimalistic shoe has taken on a more artful role in the past decade, its canvas literally paving a way for artists to act on creative self-indulgences. This “Pink Floyd Animals” variation pays homage to legendary Brit rock troupe Pink Floyd. Crafted in a unique white/black/grey tonal scheme, the shoe features album artwork and a unique pig graphic. The band’s name rides form bottom along the heel. The Converse All Star Hi Pink Floyd Animals is available at select accounts worldwide.
