Converse Work With Gorillaz To Make New Shoe

Today, iconic clothing line Converse announced the launch of their newest footwear collaboration with world-famous Gorillaz.

Launching in February 2012, the styles from the collection combine the iconic Chuck Taylor All Star silhouette with the band’s legendary graphic images to create something never seen before. Award-winning designer and Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett has designed exclusive prints incorporating elements from their ground breaking artwork.

Each design melds their diverse backgrounds and unique influences to create a revolutionary collection. The partnership with Gorillaz will also include a Converse ‘Three Artists. One Song’ music collaboration that will coincide with the launch of the collection.

“To converse: the exchange of thoughts, feelings or ideas. That's what Gorillaz are all about, working and collaborating and exchanging ideas with other artists and global communicators. We've been trading in ideas and conversing with one another for ten whole years. So I couldn't think of a better bunch of people to help celebrate our decade in the business than the good people over at the Converse shoe company. Plus I've been wearing my Chuck Taylor's since forever." - Russell Hobbs, drummer of Gorillaz.

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of their self-titled debut album, Gorillaz are widely recognized for not only creating a new genre of music but redefining the concept of a band. With a unique sound that brought together alternative rock, hip hop, electronic and pop music, the band implemented fresh ideas from their limitless fictional universe and have sold over 15 million records worldwide to date. In 2006, the band won a Grammy Award for ‘Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals’, for ‘Feel Good Inc’ with De La Soul. On November 28th, they will release the long-awaited “Singles Collection: 2001-2011,” a celebration of a decade together.
