Converse Chuck Taylor 1HUND(RED) x Terence Koh

Chinese born Canadian artist Terence Koh has proven that a sneaker can be minimalist and ostentatious at the same time. Koh's contribution to the Converse 1HUND(RED) collection is a scaled down version of the classic Chuck Taylor All-Star. The kicks are constructed in premium white leather with almost no visible stitching. A portion of the profits from the sneaker's sales will help in the fight against HIV and AIDS in Africa.

If you want to pick these up, you can find them at select shops around the globe for $150 on the 21st of November.
