Aloha Rag & Converse JP Zip
Hawaiian-based boutique Aloha Rag has collaborated with Converse to produce these limited edition JP Zips. Having opened there three years ago, Aloha chose New York as the inspiration for shoe. Matching the cosmopolitan nature of the Big Apple with an array of materials, the model features a crinkled, patent leather mid, a patterned buffalo leather outer and is lined with a soft leather interior. The model is detailed with an off white sole, an embroidered skull/hearts logo, a brass zipper and heel spike; making the shoes make-up as busy and as versatile as NYC itself. The collaborative model is now available from Aloha Rag’s online store and is limited to just 150 pairs.
