HAVEN and Converse launch textured cashmere suede Chuck 70 collaboration
Canadian retailer HAVEN and Converse have unveiled a new Chuck 70 sneaker featuring textured cashmere suede panels scheduled for release on November 12.
Design features the new shoe
This partnership matches opposing suede sections alongside leather toe tips and side zippers. The silhouette features smooth cashmere suede contrasting hairy suede alongside a leather toe cap. A discreet lateral side zipper runs along the medial quarter to introduce functional ease. Refined leather piping and a practical heel pull are also incorporated into the exterior.
Project framed by Graham Landin
Visual artist and carpenter Graham Landin frames the collaborative footwear project through organic woodworking practice. In his studio, he employs chainsaws alongside conventional hand tools to shape aged timber into polished designs. This approach influences the shoe's understated character emerging from honest raw materials and purposeful utility.
Release dates for stores
The HAVEN / Converse Chuck 70 releases on November 12 at HAVEN online, in-stores, and the BEAKER Seongsu flagship. It arrives at Converse channels and select retail partners on November 17. The utilitarian design updates the classic court silhouette through subtle technical intervention.
