Tyler, The Creator’s Converse x Golf le Fleur GLF 2.0 Has Arrived

by

Tyler, the Creator, and Converse have been working together for a few years now. This partnership has led to some impressive sneaker releases and when you think of the Golf le Fleur imprint, quality always seems to come to mind. That is especially true with Tyler’s latest Converse release which has been dubbed the Converse x Golf le Fleur GLF 2.0.

In the official images below, you can see the first colorway of the shoe which is just white. The white leather upper is complemented by some color as the hangtag that says “Golf le Fleur” is blue. From there, we have pastel Golf le Fleur branding on the tongue and the outsole. It all comes together nicely in a shoe that honors the synergy between Converse and Tyler, the Creator.

If you are interested in copping this latest Tyler x Converse collab, you will be able to do so as of today for a price of $110 USD. Pairs can be found right here in multiple sizes. Let us know what you think of this shoe, in the comments below, and stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sneaker world.

Tyler The Creator’s Latest Golf Le Fleur Converse Are Out Now — And They Look Amazing

by

The partnership between Tyler The Creator and Converse has proven to be quite fruitful. In addition to the Golf Wang Chucks that sold out nearly instantly the day they dropped — and the customizable re-release from earlier this year — as well as the hilarious “Really Cool Converse Club” commercial that Tyler directed, the partnership has now spawned an entirely new shoe, the GLF 2.0, designed by Tyler. Rather than being an athletic shoe like the ones borne from other artist/brand collaborations, it’s a casual sneaker that’ll likely look just as good dressed up and dressed down.

There are currently two colorways of the new sneaker: Oil Green and Bison, and Curry and Copper Tan. The upper is canvas and suede, with fat laces, and a classic overall silhouette that gives off the same retro vibe Tyler’s been embracing since his Flower Boy era. They’re priced at just $110 and odds are, they’ll be gone before the day is out, but you can still try your luck at Converse.com. There’s almost no way there’s not a restock at some point.

Tyler’s Golf Le Fleur label has flourished this year, with the immensely busy rapper-producer-designer introducing both a line of nail polish and a line of luggage, which he introduced with a cheeky short film.

Converse & Ibn Jasper Team for One Star Celebrating Skate Style and Classic Motorsports

The second Converse and Ibn Jasper collaboration incorporate Jasper’s conversational approach to style, which is steeped in his barbershop heritage – a communal hub where jokes, tales, and ideas are shared and exchanged – providing a distinct blend of skate style and traditional motorsports.

With a reinvention of the One Star that merges his love for motorsports and skateboarding, Jasper achieves his objective to stay honest and create art that inspires the heated dialogues found within the confines of barbershops around the world.

The Converse x Ibn Jasper collaboration Converse.com will release One Star in a limited global release starting May 20. You can see the images below.

Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free’s pgLang Collaborates with Converse for New Chuck 70 and Pro Leather Sneakers

by

Converse is partnering up with pgLang, the firm founded by Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free. “pgLang for Converse” is a partnership that takes two of Converse’s most iconic styles – the Chuck 70 and the Pro Leather – and turns them into canvases for storytelling and exploration. By adding small embellishments into silhouettes that have stood the test of time, the partnership sees its design language as based in simplicity.

pgLang is an agency founded in 2020 by Kendrick Lamar and his longtime collaborator Dave Free with the goal of telling stories that transcend language and connecting people through shared experiences. Curiosity, accessibility, and inventiveness are at the heart of pgLang’s identity, and they’re all on exhibit in this collection.

Finally, pgLang for Converse embraces the unknown, celebrates the established, and anticipates what’s yet to be discovered in order to Create Next.

A closer look at the pgLang for Converse Chuck 70 reveals small elements that distinguish it from its original shape. The upper features hiking-style eyelets, while the insole and outsole feature an asymmetrical rubber lacquer and cryptic text patterns that allude to pgLang’s secretive spirit. “for pgLang” is also imprinted on the upper, over the Converse logo.

The Pro Leather is a classic silhouette that has been updated with a suede upper. It has the same hiking-style eyelets as the Chuck 70, and the Star Chevron is imprinted alongside “pgLang.”

A music video starring Tanna Leone and Selah Marley, which portrays the narrative of two strangers who find an unexpected connection while exploring Los Angeles, will be released to coincide with the release of this collaboration. The laces on the pgLang for Converse collection are employed as the mechanism via which the two protagonists discover connection in Los Angeles – a city where loneliness can be impossible to avoid. This is in keeping with pgLang’s objective to communicate stories that transcend language.

Converse.com and pg-Lang.com will have a limited global release of pgLang for Converse starting May 2. You can see the pieces below.

Tyler The Creator Gives Fans The Chance To Customize His Golf Wang Converse Chucks

Tyler The Creator’s ongoing partnership with Converse has proven uniquely fruitful. Not only have Golf Wang Converse sneakers been a cool treat for fans for the past few years, reflecting Tyler’s long-established love for the skater-favorite brand, but he’s come up with some pretty neat projects as a result, such as last year’s hilarious, Tyler-directed “Really Cool Converse Club” commercial. The latest is a new sneaker model that fans can customize with 100,000 options, the Golf Wang x Converse Chuck 70. The brand announced the collaboration via a few social media posts showing off some of the possible combinations.

The Golf Wang By You project includes a bunch of side decals of Golf Wang and Tyler The Creator logos and color options. Quantities are limited so I suggest clicking this link as soon as you can.

During a recent Converse All-Star series talk in March, Tyler discussed his affinity for the brand but also revealed his disdain for a different trend. “What the f*ck is a NFT?” he wondered to the audience’s amusement. “I paint at home, I play instruments. … I have a friend who’s making me speakers by hand right now. What the f*ck is a NFT? None of the examples I’ve seen is, like, beautiful art. It’s a f*cking monkey in a Supreme hoodie.”
