GIO ESTEVEZ for CONVERSE (RED) – CHUCK TAYLOR HIGH // SATURDAY (09.25) RELEASE:
“As New York as they come, Gio Estevez grew up watching some of the greatest artists of the 20th century make their mark on the subways and streets of the city. Inspired, Gio embarked on a career as an artist which has led him to his current clothing design project “ANX”, as well as sizable backlog of designs, illustrations, paintings and collaborations along the way. His version of the Chuck Taylor All Star shoe is monochrome black, simple and clean. It also serves as a canvas for a unique embroidered design taken from a series of illustrations that Gio has become recognized for. “It’s not something easily explained, but the drawing represents how I feel about New York City,” says Gio of his vertical, horizontal, frenetic, and beautiful illustration. Subtle and clean, the black on black embroidery is placed on heavy-duty, rain-resistant, twill. “I love to wear canvas Chucks year-round and wanted to create a pair with a canvas that can stand up to NYC weather,” he says. Rounding out the design, the tongue and foot bed features designs that echo his artwork as well as his signature. Gio of Supreme NYC has worked with numeours brands including…Number (N)ine, Mo Wax, Burton, Real Skateboards, as well as others. This is your opportunity to get his collaboration with Converse.” -Converse First String.
To add to that, if you already didn’t gather yourself from reading the summary above, Gio is triple OG and an extremely talented, creative individual. His Chuck Taylor High will be available for purchase at KICKS/HI this Saturday (09.25). First come, first served.

NIKE BLAZER HI SUEDE (VINTAGE) QUICKSTRIKE // SATURDAY (09.25) RELEASE:
Once again, Nike vintage for the win. The attention to vintage details such as: yellowed outsole & OG thin foam tongue are super nice touches. Its like listening to ONRA or Dam Funk – at first it might sound like ’80s R&B but then it becomes super obvious its a fresh and new take on it. Yeah, its kind of like that.
Get your pair at KICKS/HI this Saturday (09.25) or via phone order beginning Monday (09.27) – 808.941.9191.
