Luxury fashion brand, A Cold Wall teams up with Converse to release two new pairs of kicks. In the past, A Cold Wall has collaborated with Nike on their classic Air Force 1, and now they will be teaming up with their brand child to create something more out of the box and unique.

The British brand works to merge working-class uniform with elements of Savile Row tailoring. Basically, simplified luxury. Or, dressed up causal wear. Basically, this is my jam. The Chuck Taylor I would say is to die for. I have a pair of Chuck Taylor heeled boots from two years ago which I wear all winter long when I go out. These are similar, I would wear them in the winter where the rubber sole and midsole reaches high up on the upper. Then you have the texturized plasticy material on the remainder of the upper. I also love the clear eyelets and unique lacing system. Definitely an interesting shoe I would rock.

Next up, is the ERX260. This shoe is a bit more out of the box and unique. Converse has created the ERX260 in several different color ways prior, and it is probably the ugliest thing I have ever seen. However, I like what A Cold Wall does with this silhouette. The model is all gray, with some suede and smooth leathers. No big branding or additional patterns. The shoe is still closed with a strap, and has a clear outsole. In my opinion, this almost looks like the Air Yeezy. Certainly this will not be for everyone, but I do enjoy it. It will go over well with A Cold Wall fans.
