The Converse X Martine Ali collaboration presents an iconic Chuck 70 Hi design reinterpreted from the original Converse XXHi and an edgy apparel collection that offers various styling options.

The Converse X Martine Ali Chuck 70 XXHi reinterprets the beloved classic Chuck 70 hightops into knee-high designs, integrating Y2K style with custom metal materials and various buckle designs.

Washed twill material, back zippers, edgy metal details, classic outsoles, and the Chuck Taylor ankle patch are among the diverse elements that blend harmoniously with the classic Chuck 70 design.

Converse X Martine Ali has also unveiled an edgy apparel collection that allows for various stylings of the Chuck 70 XXHi.

Converse X Martine Ali jackets and skirts are styled with Martine Ali's modular approach, incorporating details for styling options. The skirt features detachable zipper closures for versatility in length, providing both style and functionality, while the jacket in all-black design includes a snap closure on the central placket for potential crop styling. Additional details include packable hoods, stitching, and collaborative embroidery, and both items are made from lightweight nylon material.
