Full of clean lines and limited seams, the Terence Koh for Converse Chuck Taylor is minimalism at its best. As part of the ongoing 1HUND(RED) project which we have continually covered since its inception, Koh takes on a fresh approach to collaboration, stripping away at his design to create a molded piece of leather perfection. Available at Opening Ceremony from November 21st.
PRESS RELEASE
Converse announces the Terence Koh for Converse 1HUND(RED) Artists Chuck Taylor All Star.
Enlisted as a contributor to the 1HUND(RED) project, Koh's approach to the design of his shoe focused on subtraction. "I wanted to keep the DNA of the Chuck Taylor intact, while reducing the seams, and smoothing out the shoe's surfaces as much as possible". Terence replaced the usual curve of the ankle with a vertical construction to give the shoe a clean square look. A smoothed-out version of the signature Converse tread on the sole combines with a white on white All Star rubber license plate on the heel to round out the ultra-clean look and feel of the shoe. As a contributor to 1HUND(RED), a percentage of the net wholesale price of the shoe will go to help fight AIDS in Africa, giving consumers an opportunity to become agents of change and offering a way to turn design into power.
The Terence Koh for Converse 1HUND(RED) Artists Chuck Taylor All Star is available in a high-top, premium white leather version. The shoe launches globally on Saturday November 21st and will be available in the US at Opening Ceremony (www.openingceremony.com) in New York and Los Angeles and select retailers globally. Shoes will retail for $150 and will be available in sizes 7 - 13.
