Fear of God's Essentials diffusion line is gearing up for its fall/winter 2018 collection, and among the denim, fleeces, and overcoats is a collaboration with Converse.
Teased in two colorways—black/white and white/black—the range appears to use the vintage-leaning Chuck 70 silhouette as opposed to the more commonplace Chuck Taylor All-Star. The shoe's heels include Essentials branding on the left heel with a traditional Converse badge on the right.
Launch details including release date and pricing info have not yet been announced, but designer Jerry Lorenzo's Instagram post teases a fall drop.
