A Playful Marriage


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/
