In an interesting collaboration Converse gets together with Woolrich, the heritage brand. The collaboration collection consists of overall 4 sneakers. The Chuck Taylor All Star comes in both low and high versions with plaid uppers and waxed black laces, white leather branding. The Poor Man Pro Team and the Weapon 86 come in corduroy versions. All four look good, even though we lean more towards the Chuck Taylors.
