Converse and Liverpool FC unveil their new limited-edition capsule collection with a celebration of the creative and diverse nature of the club’s beating heart – it’s supporters.
In this first link up between the two global icons, this lifestyle collections also pays homage to the passion and rich history of LFC, while championing its future.
Five young Reds – broadcaster Rubi Deschamps, singer Rain Castillo, multidisciplinary artist Sterling Rose Kelly, rapper Dayzy and commentator and campaigner Roopa Vyas – take centre stage in this original collaboration, with a campaign called ‘creating from the ground up’.
The launch also features an all-star line-up of five LFC players Andy Robertson, Fabio Carvalho, Shanice van de Sanden, Taylor Hinds and Leanne Kiernan.
The collaboration kicks-off with nine pieces, dual branded with LFC and Converse logos. Two standout pieces include the iconic Chuck 70 high top sneakers which are covered with Liver birds, Sea Holly and YNWA, and the woven heritage varsity jacket with special references to the 1984 European Cup finals ticket where the Reds beat Roma on penalties.
Also, in the collection are a bucket hat, run star hike sneakers, polo shirt, T-shirt, shorts, tracksuit top and bottoms.
“Being a Red doesn’t just mean wearing a jersey or standing on the terraces,” says Steven Bramble, VP/GM Converse Western Europe. “It’s about expressing yourself and your love of football in whatever way you want. We couldn’t be prouder to celebrate and showcase modern dimensions of the LFC community’s creativity through our upcoming collection and campaign.”
