Continuing on from two previously successful collaborations, Converse and Commes Des Garçons have joined forces to deliver a third collection called PLAY Converse Pro Leather. The collection was launched in the states earlier this week and the two names have created four new styles of the unmistakeable Pro Leather shoe.

Commes Des Garçons created by fashion designer Rei Kawakubot, is known for wearable streetwear style and has incorporated this look into the new design for Converse, which have gone from a sporty basketball shoe in the 1970s to a wardrobe must-have everywhere.

Rei Kawakubot of Commes Des Garçons has the classic love heart with eyes design and has created four sporty versions of the Pro Leather shoe. The quirky motif is printed on the shoes in different colours, offering a bold and unique look. The pattern is fun and playful, and represents the creative and colourful style of both Converse and Commes Des Garçons.

The designs are already available in the US and will be available in London and Paris from 1^st June, and in Tokyo and Asia from 21^st June. This up-and-coming design is set to be a big hit, delivering the classic and popular converse shoe with a funky and exclusive design unmistakeably created by Converse and Commes Des Garçons.
