Remember the viral, deconstructed Converse Chuck 70s from Feng Chen Wang’s 2019 runway? The hand-painted canvas shoes that stole the spotlight at New York Fashion Week? Well, Wang’s back with a fresh take on the iconic silhouette, and this time, he’s gone understated. Meet the Converse x Feng Chen Wang Chuck 70 2-in-1 Ox, a conceptual shoe reimagined for the year 2024.
Feng Chen Wang’s vision goes beyond mere aesthetics. She masterfully blends form and function to create a sneaker that’s as eye-catching as it is comfortable to wear. The key lies in the “2-in-1” concept. Imagine a layered canvas upper, comfortably padded for added comfort, sitting atop a dual-layer, four-piece sole. This clever construction not only amplifies the visual impact, but also adds an unexpected dose of flexibility. It’s like getting two shoes in one: a bold statement piece and a surprisingly adaptable everyday companion.
True to Wang’s signature layering aesthetic, the Converse Chuck 70 2-in-1 Ox revels in textural contrasts. Think smooth canvas juxtaposed with raw stitching, all balanced by the chunky multi-piece sole. It’s a symphony of textures that pushes the boundaries of traditional sneaker design, yet somehow manages to stay effortlessly cool.
And the best part? This bad boy will be strutting down Paris runways later this month. Get ready for jaws to drop as Wang unveils her latest creation.
