Eric Emanuel, maven and titan in the world of mesh shorts, has leaned on collaborators when it comes to his presence in footwear.

Though links to adidas, Reebok, and Maison Mihara Yasuhiro pace his backlog, he charted a new partnership in 2025 by linking up with Converse, bringing sized-up versions of his interlocked initials to classically styled versions of the Chuck 70. As the pair plot next steps, Emanuel is looking to a new silhouette, as a navy Chuck 70 is joined by a tasteful redux of the Converse Weapon Ox.

For the Chuck 70, the new development comes on a material level, now adding a hardened denim colorway to what was already a rangy roster of colorways under his banner. The jumbo logo remains intact, as does an extra “EE” hit on the license plate. For the Weapon, that same materiality peeks through the collar and on the Star logo on the quarter, utilizing a faux-aged midsole and signature branding on the insoles to round out what’s overall a clean arrangement.

This latest Converse x Eric Emanuel collaboration drops on April 3rd via Eric Emanuel online and in-store. A wider launch via SNKRS and retail partners follows on April 7th.
