Coming Soon: Denim Tears x Converse

Written by Wish ATL on . Posted in Release Dates.

The African American flag is an artistic evolution of Marcus Garvey’s red, black and green Pan-African flag. Near Jamaica Queens, where Tremaine Emory aka Denim Tears grew up, these colors cover the Liberty Rock monument, symbolizing the civil rights, group identity, and experience of African Americans. For Emory, the flag represents a distinct moment of personal discovery and a belief that Black artists, their points of view, their experience and their creative expression should be celebrated. On this limited-edition Chuck 70, Tremaine Emory translates the African American flag to an American classic.

We Are The OnesThe Future Is Yours. Vote.Gen Z Voters

To execute Emory’s vision and celebrate an America that includes and champions the voices, identities and ambitions of young Black creatives, Converse and Denim Tears have enlisted For Freedoms with Hank Willis Thomas, an artist collective that models and aims to increase civic joy, discourse and direct action – to release a new campaign dubbed “The Future is Yours. Vote.”

Coming Soon: Converse x A Cold Wall*

Written by Wish ATL on . Posted in Release Dates.

Converse & Samuel Ross‘s A-COLD-WALL* have collaborated for a technical capsule collection of footwear and apparel. This collection was initially previewed in June 2019 during ACW’s SS20 runway during London Fashion Week, displaying reconstructions of the Chuck Taylor All-Star Lugged and ERX.

According to Converse, the collection’s ethos was based around one simple question: “how does a collaboration relay intent?” Samuel Ross’ intent was clearly to further ACW’s signature look, asymmetrical detailing, compelling material choices and a muted color palette that insures focus on the design rather than the color palate.

The Chuck Taylor All Star Lugged is a weatherized version of the classic Chuck, and Ross’s take on it toes the line between sneaker and boot with a thick rubber outsole and toe bumper plus overlays that rise up onto the woven ripstop upper. An inner bootie provides warmth and lockdown, while ACW and Converse branding is placed on each piece. Elsewhere, the ERX looks to its basketball heritage with a full patinated suede build, a large collar strap and a stripped-back lacing system. This simple-yet-effective upper rests atop an icy blue midsole to finalize the style. Rounding off the offerings are two tracksuits, one with a traditional basketball cut and one with more asymmetrical detailing that’s sure to please ACW purists.

Check out this collab when it releases at Wish ATL Thursday September 17!

Converse First String 2013 Pro Leather Mid Zip “Pine Cone”

Written by Julie Hogg on . Posted in Product.

When Converse first debuted its First String tier, it did so with the intention of building upon its heritage, yet augmenting timeless silhouettes with luxe materials and premium executions. Over the years, the line has not only been effective at its original product line and execution, but it’s also done a stellar job of elevating the Converse name across all categories. As the First String lineup moves into 2013, Wish continues to support with the latest arrival in the form of the Pro Leather Mid Zip “Pine Cone.” Aptly branded after the predominant colorway of the upper, the shoe is treated in an amalgam of rough suede panels and smooth suede side panels. Tonal Converse On Star branding is seen along the anterior side, while matching leather laces and antiqued brass hike lace locks round things out.

Purchase the Converse First String Pro Leather Mid Zip “Pine Cone” Here as well as in-store via our Moreland Ave. location. Phone orders are offered by dialing 404.880.0402. Email orders are accepted by sending a size request to orders@wishatl.com
