According to the press release, Converse allowed designer Telfar Clemens to reimagine its basketball staples, including the brand’s first leather shoe made for the court. Clemens recreated the style into a unisex ballet flat with a white sneaker sole (see photo). “For Converse and Telfar, sport is for everyone,” reads a press statement from the brands. Prior to the full launch, the pair will drop a co-branded duffel bag (pictured here) on July 2 that will prove if Telfar’s It-bag capabilities can translate to activewear.
