Missoni and Converse Team Up for a Zig-Zaggy Sneaker Collab

By Roxanne Fequiere

Talk about an odd pairing: Missoni, known for their awesome use of prints and knits, will soon be applying their expertise to a considerably less luxurious fabric —canvas. The famous family-run brand is pairing up with Converse to create the "Premium Chuck Hi Missoni," a mash-up of the classic Chuck Taylor high tops and Missoni's well-loved zig-zag print. The kicks will be available starting next spring, but since Tai Missoni was recently spotted sporting a pair, we're wondering if we'll see Margherita rocking Chucks on the red carpet anytime soon. But now the real question: How much do you think these babies will set you back? After all, we can't imagine coughing up more than $100 for a pair of the rock concert staples. ( >WWD)
