Marimekko, the Finnish design house known for its bold, colorful and exotic prints, has
teamed up with the classic American sneaker Converse just in time for Spring to bring a
splash of color and individuality back to NYC streets after a long winter. Each company
brings to the table a history of joyful childhood memories from their respective countries
and share a happy, easy-going attitude to life, which is evident in each original design.
The iconic sneaker combines Marimekko’s signature poppy prints with both the classic
high and low Chucks and even introduces a few new feminine styles. Around $80, the
Converse Marimekko Collection is available online and will hit select stores in March. http://www.converse.com/
