Converse x Midnight Studios
–
From interning at SSUR to founding his own brand Midnight Studios wasn’t a long route for Shane Gonzales, the 24(?) year old LA-based designer digs deep in his archive to recreate the Converse One Star. Inspired by classic skate brands like Baker and Punk bands, mixing classic design elements with collage-clipping, his Midnight Studios imprint turns the Converse One Star inside out, showing-off elements that are usually hidden. The canvas upper is held in a tonal egret colorway with stitched cut-out One Star logo and branded laces.
Young creatives don’t have it easy, they have great ideas, but no one listens, especially old guys with pockets full of money. They keep the circle tight. No problem for Shane Gonzales though, the LA-based designer and his own Midnight Studios label seem to have it figured out. Inspired by classic skate brands like Baker and Punk bands, mixing classic design elements with collage-clipping, his Midnight Studios imprint turns the iconic Converse
CTAS 70 inside out, showing-off elements that are usually hidden. Similar to the other pair of the pack, the One Star, this hi-cut silhouette features heavy canvas with branded laces with an ankle wrap-around construction.
