For the redesign of its iconic Chuck Taylor All Star sneaker, American brand Converse, a part of the Nike group, has engaged three creative minds: Brooklyn-based jewelry and accessory designer Martine Ali, French fashion designer Isabel Marant, and London-based Chinese fashion label Feng Chen Wang.
 

Ali leads the unveiling with the Chuck 70 De Luxe Wedge, introduced on December 1. Drawing inspiration from the hip-hop culture of the late '90s and early 2000s, Ali's shoe features an EVA foam wedge sole and an asymmetrical square toe. Inspired by thigh-high boots, this model offers two styles, with and without gaiters.

Priced at 160 euros, the Converse x Martine Ali Chuck 70 De Luxe Wedge is available on Converse.com and select retailers.
