CDG play Converse Big Heart High Top (White)

Some of these collaborations are paperwork. And there are those collaborations that seem like they should have always been.

The CDG play Converse Big Heart High Top (White) is the second kind. Two of the most established brands in their respective domains, one based on the avant-garde Japanese fashion, one on almost a hundred years of American sneaker culture, so that all that remains is to ask, why has it taken this long?

It is not an exclusive hype drop. It is an irreversible element of contemporary style culture. It has been in the streets of Tokyo and on the sidewalks of Paris, and this shoe has earned its right of residence, not to mention it is not leaving any time soon.

What Makes This Shoe Different From Every Other Chuck 70

Everything on the Chuck 70 is already perfect: the canvas upper, the vulcanized sole, the low profile toe cap, the metal eyelets. This did not make CDG PLAY change anything. Something much more powerful they added–meaning.

The gigantic logo, which was created by New York artist Filip Pagowski and realized by Rei Kawakubo, does not rest calmly on this shoe. It controls the side panel. It is the initial thing that people see and the last thing that they remember.

It is the shoe that can make people who are not known to you put their mouths open halfway through a sentence and inquire: “Where did you get those?

The Chuck 70 Difference — Why Not Just Any Converse

The Chuck 70 is distinctly different to the standard All Star. It is the updated one, with a heavier canvas, enhanced padding, better build, vintage look. When CDG PLAY decided to work with the Chuck, they did not in vain select the best version of this Chuck. You are not merely purchasing a Converse. You’re buying the one Converse that was made to last.

Wear It With Everything. Seriously.

The street style gesture: These shoes, CDG PLAY joggers, a clean tee, and CDG PLAY joggers. The fullest CDG outfit you can make. The intelligent casual one: Slim dark jeans, cuffed polo, laced high tops. Appears intentional without effort. The oversized moment: Baggy trousers, a boxy jacket, all of this is supported by these shoes, which give the entire appearance the necessary foundation. The out of uniform outfit: Shorts, a crewneck, these shoes. Since there are days when the shoe is the outfit.

Sizing — Read Before You Order

The Chuck 70 operates half a size big. Half size smaller than you normally take. Between sizes, it is better to go down than to go up. The fit is deliberate: tight because of its ability to provide support, and loose enough to allow it to maintain its shape throughout years of usage.

The Collaboration That Changed Sneaker Culture

At the time of the initial merger of CDG PLAY and Converse, no one could imagine that it would be among the longest-running sneaker partnerships of all time. No seasonal restocks. No artificial scarcity. It is only a shoe that continues to sell because it continues to be the right shoe – season after season, year after year.

Rei Kawakubo founded CDG PLAY on the notion that the most effective design is a truthful, straightforward and real life design. The Chuck 70 already was all that. The two of them were then made into something the fashion world had never known it needed, until it could not imagine life without it.
