KINGS OF EGYPT !I BY JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT. Converse celebrates the street-inspired work of Jean-Michel Basquiat. The collaboration translates some of his most influential pieces to the canvasses of Converse classics, including this iteration of Kings of Egypt II on the Skidgrip. The explosion of abstract text and distorted iconography pops off the archival canvas, creating a vibrant visual language that’s influenced by Egyptian history but firmly rooted in street culture.
