The New ‘Urban Utility’ Collection From Converse Uses Gore-Tex Technology to Keep You Dry
Say goodbye to soggy sneakers with these waterproof beauties.
Converse just teamed with Italian streetwear supplier Slam Jam and artist Cali Thornhill Dewitt for its badass new “Urban Utility” collection.
Among the offerings are new designs on two of its best models: the Chuck ’70 Hiker and the Jump Boot. In all, there are three new street-ready designs that come in an assortment of can’t-fail colorways.
All the sneakers are sealed at the seam with GORE-TEX so they’re completely waterproof. You’ll be grateful that you can still flex your sneaker game on a rainy day.
Below, explore the new Urban Utility kicks, which will be available on converse.com December 5.
