Swarovski has been crystal-cutting for over 100 years and has seen its shimmering creations adorn everything from jewelry to collectibles. It’s also held a notable presence in the sneaker space, which has seen crystal covered pairs fetch lofty retail prices, such as next week’s $1,200 USD Crocs Bae Clog. However, before that pair hits the market, a surprise collaboration with Converse featuring the Chuck 70 Low and Hi is set to launch tomorrow.
Swarovski and Converse connected twice last year, outfitting the Chuck 70 De Luxe in February and the Run Star Trainer in December. Now, the two have taken on the Chuck 70 again, assembling the classic model in colorways of “Black” and “Vintage White.” The former sees the low-top version of the shoe start with a black canvas base, building atop it with Swarovski crystals spread throughout its upper. It also sports a matching dubrae for additional flair. As for its Chuck 70 Hi counterpart, its “Vintage White” upper similarly hosts crystals across the entirety of its structure, including the uppermost portion of the tongue and the toe cap.
The Swarovski x Converse Chuck 70 Low and Hi are both set to drop tomorrow, May 2, via Nike SNKRS. The Low is priced at $350 USD while the Hi will be made available at a price of $450 USD.
