The next shoe in the 100th anniversary artist series by Converse is about to drop. This time the brand got together with designer/artist Ryan Lombardi. A graduate of the Art Institute of Philadelphia, his background is in graphic design, and graffiti. For this Chuck Taylor, Lombardi wanted to incorporate things that symbolized “Red” and “100” so he took design cues from Redwood Trees—trees that usually live to be hundreds of years old. A Jack Purcell by the artist will follow later on. This Chuck Taylor will drop this month at retailers. Via Complex.

Here you see the latest release out of the on going collaboration between Converse and designer John Varvatos. The Chuck Taylor Hi comes with an all black canvas upper, used coloring on the white outer sole, leather laces and black metal application along the laces and on the heel.
The sneaker has now been released at Tradition.
