Upcycling old thrifted goods, Converse’s Beyond Retro collection is a sesasonal exploration on how to utilize these post consumer goods and give them an exiting second life on our Chuck 70 upper. Clean tapes, recycled rubber outsoles, and sustainable canvases are selected to compliment the randomization of the materials we are working with in a season.

There is a lot of collaboration with development, warehourse and factory partners on these projects to understand quantities, range of color or pattens, and how to get the most out of the garments while also making something our consumer is excited to wear.

From Denim, to Hawaiian Shirts, to Dress Shirts, Velvet, and Polar Fleece Blankets, the following are some of the teams creations for this collection.
