The Converse X Carhartt WIP Collab is Made From Recycled Materials

The Converse X Carhartt WIP Collab launched last week, and the Chuck 70s are reworked with Carhatt WIP’s tough camouflage prints and brown duck canvas. The best part of the limited-edition sneakers is that they use upcycled Carhatt fabric, making each pair unique. The collection is part of Converse’s ongoing Renew program which uses materials that would have ended up in landfills.

Converse is committed to finding solutions to make products that use post-consumer and post-industrial waste to develop more sustainable options. The sneakers are made of 1,000 pre-worn canvas Carhartt work jackets, trousers, and overalls sourced by Beyond Retro, a vintage shop in London, England.

The campaign’s photo features a person wearing paint-splattered carpenter jeans with a pair of tri-colored brown, navy, and gray high-top shoes. The two-toned styles have signature branding elements blended with a Carhartt WIP logo sewn onto the tongue and the Converse All Star logo visible on the sides.

The “Hamilton Brown” and “Green Camo” designs were released on May 28 in limited quantities on Converse.com and Carhartt-WIP.com and at select retailers.
