Converse and menswear designer John Elliott have linked up to work their magic on the Skidgrip, an underground classic with ‘80s skateboarding roots.
Known for elevating staples through unique textile approaches, designer John Elliott replicates the striking imperfection of copper patina and by contrast lichen growth with a meticulously flocked canvas. Textured blue and brown tones flow across the upper in organic patterns, adding unexpected vibrance to the clean and timeless silhouette.
Look out for the John Elliott x Converse Skidgrip Ox to release in two colourways (French Oak and Antique White) on Thursday, 19 August 2021 at Shelflife (Joburg & Cape Town) + online, for the retail price of R1799,00 each.
Sizes: UK5, UK6, UK7, UK8, UK9, UK10, UK11.
