Converse Don C x ERX Is Hitting Up CK

Get ready for 9am AEST, 13th January for the latest Converse drop to change your life. This collab marks the first between Converse and Don C - a guru in fashion, design and art. The collection playfully reinterprets the iconic ERX-260, winking at the cyclical nature of the style for an updated take on the legendary silhouette. These statement pieces are rooted in basketball culture but transcend the court with pyramid-studded side panels and tongue tops zapped with lightning graphics. 

Combining inspiration from the sneaker’s defining cultural moments with Just Don’s signature aesthetic, the ERX is constructed to bring style to the forefront. In Don C's hands, the ERX 260 is a celebration of the sneaker's playground past, revamped as a classic for the fashion-forward.

“I love the basketball community because you don’t have to be able to hoop to appreciate the game and style," Don C says. 

Converse is introducing the first style-driven expression of the ERX, a sneaker that epitomized the over-the-top basketball style of the late 1980s, with designer and style trendsetter, Don C.  As Don C walked back through the Converse archives, he was immediately drawn to the ERX, through his own personal memories of the silhouette and love of the sport. Recalling the shoe's championship pedigree, as it capped a decade when Converse athletes defined title-winning, he was reminded of the cross-cultural, on and off court adoption it enjoyed, even after it disappeared from the Converse lineup after only three years.
