Vans Vs. Converse: The Best Designer Collaborations

Converse Mountain Parka

I've always favored Chuck Taylor's with a colored cap at the toes, so the only white is on the bottom.  This style has proven popular with designers like Lanvin, Pierre Hardy, and Balenciaga because of it's sleek look and ability to be dressed up or down.  This pair of Chucks do just that, in a cool green witch is perfect for the season.  The downside?  These are only being released in Japan, so get your currency calculators out.
