From a Keith Haring collaboration to this year’s Pride collection, Converse has been giving special treatment to the Run Star Hike—an edgy take on the classic Converse Chuck Taylor that features an exaggerated jagged rubber sole. As if the chunky silhouette couldn’t get bolder, the Converse design team incorporates progressive design and innovative comfort systems to craft the Run Star Motion.
The Run Star Motion will debut in three colorways: black, white, and ivory. Similar to the Run Star Hike, the upcoming Motion iteration opts for a Chuck Taylor-reminiscent base. Things take a wild turn with a molded wavy midsole that uses CX foam as part of the new Converse CX lineup—a collection of three new models that embrace benefit-led innovation. This heightened sole is complemented by the lugged rubber forefoot and heel, which are a nod to bold self-expression. While these outsole elements are Gum Brown and black on the black and white pairs, the ivory style opts for cream shades for a tonal look overall.
Enjoy official images of the Run star Motion below, which will be arriving at the listed retailers on July 1.
