ACW_CNVS for SS 2024: Industrial House Codes, Sportswear Heritage
A-COLD-WALL* & Converse continue their partnership for Spring/Summer 2024 with a capsule collection translating sporting heritage through ACW*’s visual language. The legendary Converse Weapon, originally released in 1986, takes on newfound form as a low-top, ACW* the first to present a collaborative interpretation of this silhouette.
Extending the narrative, the ACW_CNVS Weapon Ox's sophisticated detailing has been carried through to a three-piece companion wardrobe, distilling the shoe’s distinctive colour palette and materiality.
ACW_CNVS Weapon Ox in Slate and Rust
Signature ACW* crinkled nylon in Slate provides tactility and volume at the upper, with a contrast brushed suede echoing mineral shades found throughout core ACW* collections. A practical 3-way speed lacing system accentuates the geometric tongue, while a semi-translucent sole unit and tonal stitching lend the shoe a distinct lightness - this subdued colourway punctured by a rich Rust interior.
ACW_CNVS Gale Series in Reversible Crinkle Nylon
The three-piece capsule begins with the ACW_CNVS Gale Jacket constructed from a crinkle satin nylon, in-keeping with the shoe. Echoing the Weapon Ox’s Rust and Slate pairing, reversible construction allows for adaptable wear. An asymmetric metal snap front flap reveals both colours simultaneously, while protective taping references court lines - a nod to the collection’s sporting heritage. Reversible cargo pocket ACW_CNVS Gale Pants drape and pleat for subtle shaping with a soft, 240g cotton jersey reflective tab t-shirt completing this succinct capsule.
