After the recent Ian Ginoza Jack Purcell and Huf Skidgrip for Converse’s 1HUND(RED) Collection, the label has now collaborated with Staple to create a special (RED) edition of the “Pigeon” Sea Star. In addition to helping save lives in Africa, this follow-up to the successful Staple Design x Converse Sea Star is kept simple with a black, white and red “23″-inspired color story. The sneaker features the same trappings as the earlier pigeon version including puffed out collar, nautical outsole and water resistant outer collar. Premieres October 8th, 2009, exclusively at Reed Space in New York City.
