When it comes to elevating experiences in style and retail, this continuing partnership between footwear brand Converse and hip lifestyle store Commonwealth does make the perfect fit. To further illustrate the synergy, Converse x Carhartt WIP’s spring 2021 collection gets its full collection displayed at POV by Commonwealth.
At the core, Carhartt WIP and Converse have been adopted by subcultures for years. And for this new collection, the collaboration repurposes two cornerstones of Carhartt camouflage and canvas applied to the Converse Chuck 70 Hi. The collection features a military camo and Hamilton Brown canvas, both crafted in 12 oz canvas for durability and quality as well as OrthoLite insole for all-day comfort.

“I want to beautify our city because I want a clean place for the children of Manila and be proud that they live in the city,” Manila Mayor Isko Moreno said. “With the help of private sectors like Converse, we are one step closet to that dream.”
Unveiled by city officials and Converse Philippines, the artworks of
Blic, RJ Saquian (BVRN), and
