COMME des GARÇONS PLAY Adds Signature Hearts To The Converse One Star

COMME des GARÇONS PLAY — despite being near as important to the umbrella as HOMME PLUS — is often ridiculed in jest, as the diffusion’s collaborative Converse have become a viral hit amongst those ignorant to the Japanese label’s more unique, creative offerings. And due to their immense popularity, these Chucks resurface every season in new colorways, rarely ever straying too much from the formula.

That changes just a bit this year, though, as COMME des GARÇONS PLAY and Converse are bringing their beloved heart to a different silhouette: the One Star. Design-wise, the collaboration is nothing groundbreaking, preferring simplicity over gaudy overuse of said logo. On the exterior of both colorways — “Black” and “White” — the Filip Pagowski-designed graphic is printed next to the lateral star, matching the shape’s bright red color at a rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise.

For a closer look at the CdG Play x Converse One Star, check out the official imagery below. These are currently slated to hit Converse.com on July 28th, with select retailers likely to follow suit.
