The future is looking bright for Converse. Bright and covered in animal print. Introducing the Auckland Racer (Animal Pack), a trio of the CONS style made famous by last year’s Missoni collab. Converse maintain their commitment to bold prints but have turned the colour palette all the way up this time around. The animal print covers the entire lightweight nylon upper, tongue and sock liner, with an equally bright complementing trim.

While the print may take inspiration from the animal kingdom, it does not serve the same function as your usual leopard print – there is no way you’re camouflaging with anything in these kicks. But then again, why would you want to? Check out our preview of one of the iterations above.

The Auckland Racer (Animal Pack) will be dropping this saturday at Hype DC and Converse Melbourne Central.
