Why You Should Cop: If you think “bootleg” still has a negative connotation, you might want to get with the times. Bootleg designs both retro and fresh are enjoying a wave of popularity in 2020, and are often more compelling than their “official” counterparts. However, Chicago-based designer Joe Freshgoods has managed to bring “official” and “unofficial” together with his new Converse collaboration: bootleg-inspired Pro Leathers and Chuck 70 His, the latter of which has yet to receive official photos. Rich in color and lively in style, Freshgoods’ latest is a rollicking romp of playfulness and a nod to ’70s Chicago all tied together.
