While previously just working and reworking on pre-existing One Star and Chuck 70 models, Tyler, The Creator finally broke out the pen and paper to design something that’s completely out of converse’s playbook; a hiking boot with a slightly elevated platform that puts the chunk in chunky.
Inspiration for the Gianno largely comes from Converse’s vast library of basketball archives, coming in a few different colourways that visually spells outdoors. Gone are the signature flower star, instead replaced by layers upon layers of materials that accentuate the hiking look. Street or mountainous? That’s totally up to you to decide.
The Converse Gianno drops today at Converse Pavilion and Crossover Sunway Pyramid with prices ranging from RM 499 to 539.
