The Converse x ‘Coraline’ collection features five styles of footwear and clothing items, including a t-shirt and hoodie; the collab will be available for purchase beginning November 21.
In celebration of the 15th anniversary of Coraline, Converse and LAIKA have teamed for another collaborative collection featuring footwear and apparel inspired by the stop-motion film’s imaginative and haunting world.
Coraline follows a young girl who discovers a secret world behind a hidden door. Its themes of individuality and self-discovery are a natural fit with the Chuck Taylor All Star, a shoe known as “a cultural emblem of self-expression.”
This limited-edition collection brings the film’s moments, characters, and motifs to life by applying them to the Chuck Taylor All Star’s canvas. The five Chuck models include:
- The "Other World" Chuck Taylor All Star, featuring a vibrant graphic of the film's fantastical garden, rainbow foil accents, and a Seeing Stone-inspired eyelet.
- The "Other Wybie" Chuck Taylor All Star, inspired by Coraline's friend Wybie, includes a black-coated canvas upper, reflective accents, textured laces, and a button eye graphic patch.
- The Coraline Chuck Taylor All Star EVA Lift, designed for kids, features an all-over star print inspired by Coraline's sweater and a dragonfly patch.
- The Coraline Chuck Taylor All Star 1V, also designed for kids, features an all-over star print, a button-moon ankle patch, and a Coraline doll graphic.
- The Coraline Chuck Taylor All Star 2V Infant features an all-over star print, cat and mice graphics, and cobranded details.
Apparel items, including a t-shirt and hoodie, round out the collection. The t-shirt features a puff print doll graphic on the front and Coraline back graphic, while the hoodie incorporates embroidered buttonholes, a Beldam hand in rubber ink, and a sleeve graphic.
LAIKA’s recent theatrical re-release of Coraline in remastered 3-D set box office records in multiple territories around the world.
