Double Tap to Zoom

Converse and Anna Sui is a collaboration that works on every level. In fact, the only surprise is how it took this long. 

The pair have teamed up to unveil a gothic-inspired All Star high-top.

From the get-go, this is a very Anna Sui looking shoe. It’s both playful and romantic simultaneously. All while wholeheartedly looking like a Converse All Star. 

The All Star is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable silhouettes in sneaker history. With Anna Sui’s name attached, it’s only more so.

Dressed in black canvas (nothing out of the ordinary there) and enhanced with her namesake brand’s motifs and embellishments, this is a moody high-top. There’s funky, sparkly even, laces to add to the mix too. The purple accents throughout may scream Wednesday Addams, but it’s actually the brand’s signature color, and Anna did it first.

It’s the kind of collab that feels like it should have happened years ago. Instead, it lands right on time: Anna Sui’s gothic romance with Converse’s icon status. The result? A sneaker that’s every bit as cool as it sounds.
