Denim Tears x Converse拒絕政治炒作
Denim Tears x Converse本身是一個善於將非洲色彩融入街頭服飾的品牌，經常會看到代表非裔國家的紅、綠和黑色出現，或者用上一些非裔的民族、宗教圖案。今回Denim Tears x Converse聯乘鞋款籌備時間長達一年，表達非裔黑人一直以來所遇的不公。鞋款原定在今年暑假時間發佈，但剛好遇上「Black Lives Matter」的社會運動，Denim Tears拒絕乘其熱度強行推出。反之，主理人Tremaine Emory暫停合作並利用是次機會要求Converse的母公司Nike要比原定計劃的4年內捐贈US$40M更多的金錢到黑人平權運動上。Denim Tears冒住合作有可能失敗的風險，希望以品牌的影響力和聯乘鞋款，令更多的人加入黑人平權運動的行列。今回推出是為了美國大選期間，呼籲更多人出來投票，企圖改變社會現象。
今回Denim Tears x Converse選用的3種顏色是從Marcus Garvey的泛非國旗（Pan-African Flag）採樣，分別代表正義之師的血與汗、黑人重族和非裔農業。是次收錄了高、低筒版的Chuck 70，鞋身主要由紅黑間條的帆布組成，鞋舌和鞋跟的縫合部分均用上了綠色主調配上黑色的星星的pattern。中底部分以白色調和整體顏色的平衡，而外底選用紅色填滿。今回的鞋款尾部標籤用上了兩個品牌的特製tag，以突顯聯乘的地位。日常穿搭上建議在衣服的部分選用較深沉的顏色，避免與鞋身的紅綠撞色，否則無法凸顯鞋身的設計。
