New Missoni/Converse collaboration

These are awesome.  The black and white zig-zags looks both funky and elegant, and are a marked improvement (in my mind) to the much more colorful zig-zag patterns of the previous Missoni/Converse collaboration.  The leather tongue helps give it a more classy look.

The pattern and materials are in keeping with Missoni's spring/summer 2011 collection, which bears a wide variety of knitted, zig-zag patterned apparel and accessories, much like the fall/winter 2010 collection did.  This time, Missoni has also created a Chuck Taylor with a much wider vertical zig-zag that looks like it has been etched into the shoe.  Both look great.
