Converse x Robert Indiana “Love” Chuck Taylor Pack

Converse x Robert Indiana “Love” Chuck Taylor Pack Due to the overwhelming praise Robert Indiana received for his iconic “Love” sculpture and artwork, Converse is reaching out to him to do an official collaboration, uniting the “Love” artwork with the timeless Chuck Taylor.

The project will birth two new Chuck Taylor designs, a mid-cut and a high-top model. The Chuck Taylor Low features the word “Love” printed in black all-over the upper, while the  Chuck Taylor High uses  a replica of the “Love” artwork on the side panel, back heel, and also along the midsole. Indiana’s signature will also be written on either the shoe’s insole or tongue.

The Converse x Robert Indiana “Love” Chuck Taylor Pack is scheduled to release in Spring 2010.
