Where Iconic Converse Classics Meet Vaquera’s Bold, DIY Couture Spirit

When Converse’s timeless silhouette meets Vaquera’s audacious, DIY spirit, the result is nothing short of sartorial rebellion. The new XXXHi Slouch Wedge and XHi Slouch Wedge take the classic Chuck Taylor All Star and turn it on its head: slouched, textile-rich, and elevated with hidden wedge soles, these sneakers are more than footwear—they’re a statement.

Think of them as couture-meets-street, where casual comfort collides with high-fashion experimentation. Every curve, every fold in the textile tells a story of effortless cool, the kind that straddles the line between art and utility.

This release is the first chapter of an exciting collaboration between NIKE, Inc. and Vaquera, with more daring interpretations to come, including the Nike Air Max Dn8, reimagined for the bold and the fearless.

The Converse x Vaquera collection hits globally on November 8 at vaquera.nyc and Dover Street Market, followed by a wider launch on November 11 via converse.com, SNKRS, and select retailers. The Nike x Vaquera Air Max Dn8 drops this December, promising another dose of boundary-pushing style.

Editorial Tip: Pair these slouchy wedges with oversized tailoring, layered textiles, or deconstructed denim to fully embrace the collection’s rebellious yet sophisticated energy.
