Spencer McMullen Converse Artist Series Chuck Taylor All-Star 70s High People Print

As part of Converse’s on-going Artist Series, the iconic Chuck 70’s canvas upper sports hand-drawn work by McMullen himself. Made in collaboration with the Florida-based illustrator, the Spencer McMullen x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 70 High ‘People Print’ launched as part of the Converse Artist Series, featuring the work of creatives handpicked by Tyler, the Creator. Spencer’s hand-drawn characters adorn the canvas upper, accented with signature details that include an All Star patch and winged tongue stitching. Contrasting red and blue pinstripes distinguish the Off-White rubber midsole.

“After growing up with the brand, applying my artwork to this sneaker was really a dream come true,” said McMullen in an official press release. “But I didn’t want to disrupt the silhouette too much, because it is perfect in its simplicity. So, over a few months, I worked on new drawings and paintings to feature on the canvas, pulling inspiration from real stories that are documented around me – like books and photos on the internet of my life back in Jacksonville. I also kept a new, blank Chuck 70 on my desk to look at every day and I spread all my work on the floor around me to assess and arrange in different ways.” Spencer brings the iconic canvas to life with hand-drawn characters he’s encountered near and far – a modern ode to the Chuck Taylor All Star, these sneakers tell a story.
