In celebration of Chinese New Year, Converse has officially released the new “Year of the Rabbit” footwear collection, designed with a “playful New Year,” theme. The collection combines traditional cultural elements with classic red, calligraphy and embroidery, but with a fun, unexpected element of detachable patches featuring distinct New Year patterns, creating ways to reimagine and customise the collection.

Converse, once again offers a wide range of styling options, refreshing traditional festival looks with creativity at the centre. In doing so, Converse combines traditional Chinese elements with its iconic silhouettes. The “Year of the Rabbit” collection includes the CHUCK 70 PLUS, RUN STAR MOTION CX and CHUCK 70 AT-CX

• The CHUCK 70 PLUS comes with scaled-up proportion play and modernized layering. The matte print and outline embroidery with Chinese calligraphic “兔RABBIT” show the diversity and energy of this model that takes a progressive and distorted position on the iconic CHUCK 70.
• The bold RUN STAR MOTION CX has been reinvigorated with a seasonal upper designed for “Year of the Rabbit,” accompanied with the detachable faux tongue top cover that provides the expressive detailing.
• CHUCK 70 AT-CX comes to life with “Year of the Rabbit” design elements in premium textured magma buck upper with a hint of red colour. All day comfort comes via the CX foam midsole and sock liner and peace of mind comes with the diamond lugged traction outsole, and injected TPU Bosey toe cap to create next-level durability.

The “Year of Rabbit” collection not only highlights traditional Chinese culture, but also reimagines the traditional celebration of Chinese New Year and showcase the engaging youth. The Converse “Year of the Rabbit” Chinese New Year Collection is now available at Converse.co.nz
