It’s true. Converse shoes are as well-known for their iconic profiles as they are for their fun collaborations. Although some of them are totally random collaborations, many of which are for people with niche interests, all of them work, all of them are fun, and all of them keep us on the balls of our feet wondering, who the heck will Converse pair up with next?

The beauty of it is, Converse has made it to a point in fashion history where it can collaborate with whoever and whatever it wants, and still manage to deliver an incredibly well-designed, loveable shoe.

Before social media ever became a thing, it was hard to figure out what people were into without going up and asking them. Like, unless they had a Black Sabbath World Tour T-shirt on, how were you supposed to know if they rocked to Iron Man as hard as you did?

Nowadays, a person’s social media profile may do a lot of talking, yet for some reason, people still insist on wearing their interests across their chests, and in the case of Black Sabbath, (and Superman, as we’ll see in a bit), on their feet. It’s called Freedom of Expression, and we’re so happy it hasn’t gone away in real life.

Here are some of our favourite Chuck Taylor Collaborations:

With the Chuck Taylor Black Sabbath Collection, you can finally pay homage to the Pioneers of Heavy Metal with your shoes.

 

The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Hi Top Black Sabbath  is perfect for those Black Sabbath fans who can’t decide on their favourite album:

Another Converse collaboration we’re all for was created for all of the superhero fans out there. OK, not all of the superhero fans out there, just the DC Comics ones. The Converse All Stars Limited Edition DC Comics Collection is a collaboration of classics that covers the Justice League, Superman, Batman, the Joker and more. Fighting crime has never looked so good.

Can’t decide on a favourite superhero to slip your feet into? It’s all good. If you’re still into colourful, just not colourful comics, here is one more Converse collaboration we’re celebrating this month: the Marimekko line.

Marimekko, a Finnish textile design company renowned for its bold prints and colourful patterns, managed to catch the eyes of the designers at Converse, who then turned these bold prints into All Stars.

Whether you are looking for Chucks in the Papajo Scuba Blue design, a Pirput Parput print, or the Lokki pattern, we have you covered! Check them out:

The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Premium Low Top Marimekko Lokki Black/ White is all kinds of modern fun:
