Get ready to kick your sneaker game up a notch because the latest drops from Converse x KENZO and INVINCIBLE x adidas are here to steal the spotlight!
These collabs aren’t just shoes – they’re statement pieces, and trust us, you won’t want to miss out on these fresh kicks hitting the scene this month!
Converse Chuck 70 Low & Hi x KENZO
When NIGO steps in, you know it’s not going to be subtle – and the new KENZO x Converse Chuck 70 collection is all the proof you need.
Since taking over as KENZO’s artistic director in 2021, NIGO has been injecting his street-savvy touch into the French fashion house, and now he’s brought that same boldness to Converse for their very first collab. His canvas of choice? The iconic Chuck 70, a silhouette he’s openly obsessed with.
Dropping in both Low and Hi versions, this collection is a full-on flex of prints and personality. The shoes are wrapped in NIGO’s signature Hana Leopard pattern, but don’t worry – it’s more runway-chic than jungle rave.
Coming in three vibey colourways – “Pink Cosmos,” “Cypress,” and “Sweet Corn” – each pair puts a twist on tradition. Whether you’re into pink-and-white pop, green-and-black cool, or something more neutral with the black, white, and yellow combo, there’s a statement waiting to be made on your feet.
It’s the little details that really elevate this collection. Every pair comes with a KENZO boke flower hangtag (cute, but make it high fashion) and a matching outsole graphic that ties the whole look together.
You’ll also find co-branded sockliners and a slick KENZO logo patch stitched into the heel of the left shoe – just in case the Hana Leopard print wasn’t enough of a conversation starter.
The Converse Chuck 70 x KENZO drop is happening on 17th April. You’ll be able to cop them via Converse, KENZO, and select global stockists.
INVINCIBLE x adidas Handball Spezial
Taiwanese streetwear mainstay INVINCIBLE has been on a serious hot streak lately – and their latest link-up with adidas proves they’re not slowing down anytime soon. After dropping the wildly textural “Deconstructed Perfection” On Cloudmonster 2, INVINCIBLE is back at it with another bold move.
This time, the brand turns its design instincts toward a classic silhouette: the adidas Handball Spezial. But of course, this isn’t your average terrace sneaker. Dropping in clean white and black colourways, this collab reimagines the retro staple with a touch of chaos – and a whole lot of cool.
What really sets this pair apart is the deconstructed energy running through every stitch. Think raw-edged panels, an offset T-Toe design, and irregular eyestays that make the shoes feel like they’re in mid-transformation – like a design glitch that somehow works perfectly.
And here’s the kicker (literally): the collapsible heel. Yup, these can double as slippers. Perfect for when you want to slide out the door for a quick kopi run without fully lacing up. That kind of versatility just hits different, especially in our Malaysian heat where shoes-off culture is practically second nature.
Design-wise, the white colourway leans into a crisp aesthetic – smooth leather uppers, soft suede toes, and a hairy suede heel counter come together for that satisfying mix of textures. It’s the kind of detail that makes you want to take a second (or third) look.
Aged-looking gum soles add just the right amount of vintage charm, like they’ve been passed down from a cooler older cousin who was always two steps ahead. Perforated side panels nod to the Stan Smith’s iconic detailing, while gold co-branding and embossed heel logos lock in that premium feel without going overboard.
The INVINCIBLE x adidas Handball Spezial is making its next move with a wider release on 19th April via adidas.
