Parra x Converse Chuck Taylor Hi | Simply The Wurst
July 2, 2009 by Roland | 19 Views
Parra, a Holland based artist, has plenty of experience working with sneaker companies such as Nike and Vans, but his latest work of art was done in conjunction with Converse. The two of them, Parra & Converse, sat down and designed a special pair of Chuck Taylor All-Star Highs for a BBQ event in Berlin.
The Para x Chuck Taylor High was made with 100% white canvas with a blue bratwurst place along the both sides with one side displaying the words “Simply the Wurst” in red ketchup. Only 100 pairs were created and they all went to the family & friends that attended the BBQ.
