Converse CONS‘ European-exclusive Breakpoint Collection launches this month, teaming up with retailers in Amsterdam, Berlin, London and Paris to create four limited edition sneaker styles. Patta in Amsterdam, Solebox in Berlin, Footpatrol in London and Starcow in Paris each put their custom spin on the Breakpoint sneaker, creating colorways that are unique to their local cultures. Materials include nubuck leather, hairy suede, rip-stop nylon and heavy cotton twill, with each design featuring the iconic Star Chevron mark, a mix of tonal and contrast laces, partner logos on the heel tabs and sockliners, and lightweight cushioning for added comfort. The sneakers will be accompanied by a Breakpoint Zine featuring work commissioned by each of the retailers, with submissions by local artists, musicians, filmmakers and photographers. The sneakers and zines will launch in-stores this week, starting with Footpatrol’s Breakpoint sneaker (seen above in blue), which launches in-store tonight (Feb 12).
