The Converse x A-Cold-Wall* Sponge Crater shoe is a limited-edition silhouette and is slated to be released on Thursday, June 23, 2022, on the official e-commerce site of both the involved labels, as well as Converse’ parent company, Nike for a retail price of $110.
More about the upcoming Converse x A-Cold-Wall* Sponge Crater sneakers
Converse is a subsidiary of Nike, and has followed in the footsteps of the swoosh label by collaborating with a range of labels and artists such as Tyler, the Creator, Rick Owens DRKSHDW, and others. Another key partner for both the labels is Samuel Ross-founded label A-Cold-Wall*.
Following up on their recent two-piece footwear collaboration for the recycled Aeon Active CX silhouette, the two labels are using the same principles for their new silhouette, Sponge Crater.
The debut sneakers are one-of-a-kind, serving as an exaggeration and exploration of the Crater foam while adhering to the “less is more” ethos. The Converse site introduces the shoes,
The one-of-a-kind sneaker is reimagined by ACW’s contemporary aesthetic and unique avant-garde style, as evidenced by its unique shape, proportions, and lasting technology, most notably the first full-body structure constructed from Crater foam. The A-Cold-WALL* site introduces the shoe,
The Sponge Crated silhouette features the silhouette’s visual codes, as well as ensures optimum comfort. The collaborative shoe inculcates the egg-crate style traction pod outsole and the revolutionary CX foam underfoot.
Despite being constructed out of very few components, it is both structurally and visually advanced. Most of the shoe is constructed out of scraps and materials from the factory floor and is still capable of adapting to the terrain. The upper is constructed out of Crater Foam to mold the unique exoskeleton. The official label further provides details of the shoes,
The upper uses a flat-knit upper and encases the orange-colored upper. The flat-knit upper also helps in promoting breathability and is dressed in a creamy off-white hue. The shoes also feature spandex collars and sock-like fixtures, which are clad in pull-tabs and exaggerated heels. The pull tabs help in easing the foot entry into the shoes and securing the foot without compromising on the comfort.
The most prominent and notable portion of the sneakers is the mule cut shell, which is made out of CX foam and Crater. The ACW* logo is also imprinted on the upper gray shell.
The Sponge Crater sneakers can be purchased for $110 on the official e-commerce site of both the labels and select retailer stores starting June 23, 2022.
