Converse unveils Urban Utility, a winter-ready collection constructed with Gore-tex weatherized technology. Inspired by modular systems, the collection was crafted with cross-functionality and innovation in mind. Urban Utility is further elevated by partnering with Slam Jam, the Italian streetwear institution founded by Luca Benini, and Cali Thornhill DeWitt, the L.A. based artist and designer known for his provocative, text-driven artwork. The ethos of this eight piece collaboration is encapsulated in the collection’s mantra “Your Silence Gets You Nothing.” The statement, which is emblazoned on each item, serves as a rallying cry for Converse’s independent spirit and achievement of utilitarian design.
