CONVERSE x BARRIERS. Barriers doesn’t make passive fashion. It’s active and engaged—teaching, learning and making a statement. Barriers elevates heroes to amplify messages of anti-racism and progress. On the Chuck 70, the NYC-based brand draws inspiration from The North Star, a 19th-century anti-slavery newspaper. Pairing the premium canvas with embroidered text, cobranded details and custom star graphics, the silhouette unites the story and the two iconic brands.
