The NBA and Converse are back together again for another special-edition sneaker pack. As a response to their collaboration last fall, the Boston based sneaker giant is back to celebrate its rich athletic heritage with the league that made them famous.
The Converse x NBA 'City Edition' and 'Discovery Edition' packs celebrate the roots and heritage of NBA teams like the Los Angeles Clippers and Philadelphia 76ers with subtle hints and features on the sneaker that reference special parts of each city. The Converse x NBA 'City Edition' pack below features a logo-heavy canvas upper that covers several teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors, and the Los Angeles Lakers.
Considered at one point, the pinnacle of basketball design and comfort, the Chuck Taylor All-Star has deep roots in the NBA. The Converse x NBA 'Discovered" Pack takes the story a step further by digging into the history or each team. The 'Philadelphia 76ers' colorway below tells the story of Philly basketball.
