Converse announces its second collection of Converse 1HUND(RED) Artists footwear in its unprecedented, year-long global curation project; and the debut of Chuck Taylor All Star shoes made from African canvas—both collections designed to promote and preserve culture. For Converse 1HUND(RED) Artists, creative minds from around the world, from a wide-range of disciplines and levels of notoriety from fine artists to art students, rock stars to indie bands, and fashion designers to graphic artists will be featured throughout 2008. In addition, to further promote and preserve culture, Converse will also debut a collection of Chuck Taylor All Star shoes made with canvas made in Africa. Converse 1HUND(RED) Artists gives artists the opportunity to use their creative power to design a variety of Converse footwear styles with the goal of celebrating culture and supporting The Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Geneva, Switzerland). We took a selection of the better colabs to show you here, but hit up www.converse.com for more info. Look for these puppies to drop from June to August 2008
