Converse Skateboarding just authored a two-part collabo with Stussy Deluxe, and now we’re starting to see the first in-house designs from their summer collection hit retailers around the country. This trio is equally balanced between old and new, the Converse CTX Ox connecting to that timeless Chuck Taylor lineage with a perfect-for-summer white canvas build. Anthony Pappalardo’s signature goes for a similar sole, but adds grey to the upper for a bit more contrast, while the recently debuted Sergeant Ox stays just as clean in a different corner of the color spectrum with its navy-on-ivory build. Check out all three after the jump and grab yours at CONS retailers like Premier.
