A COLD WALL X Converse

A COLD WALL is a recently born British brand founded in 2005 by the very young designer Samuel Ross.

Samuel comes from the heart of Great Britain, Northamptonshire, where life is not that easy.

The designer grew up in a problematic periferic area where it is very easy to be badly influenced. Despite the fact of living in a particular zone he is able to save some money to go to university. He studies graphic and illustration at the De Montfort University in Leicester. He starts working as a graphic designer, but the encounter that will change his destiny is the one with the designer Virgil Abloh. Thanks to the latter Samuel will be able to collaborate with Kanye West.

Little by little he is able to give life to his personal project giving life to A COLD WALL. The brand has its first runway in 2017 for the Fashion Week Man in London. Many factors are in favour of Samuel’ success: his talent, important names, that are by now his friends, a ton of commitment and luck. All that mixture has generated the immediate success of A COLD WALL. Samuel Ross presents a contemporary aesthetic, very far from the trends of the moment and completely unique and personal. His creativity follows the rules of urban and streetwear world and it is immediately appreciated by the public that has recogised a true talent.

Since the brand is connected with streetwear collaborations with other brands are always on the agenda.

Today we present you a special collaboration A COLD WALL X Converse.

The two brands have collaborated in creating a pair of shoes with a very particular and sophisticated design.

Let’s discover them together!

The innovation lies in the extreme comfort of dynamic and active shoes.

Conceptual and futuristic shapes typical of A COLD WALL are gathered with a new technology created by Converse.

The new model Aeon Active CX is a limited edition and it’s a pair of shoes that goes beyond the innovation in footwear: the stretch structure presents a very high sole created to amortize during movements and to give more comfort while walking. The sole is made of recycled foam and the aesthetic is the one of A COLD WALL: futuristic, dystopian and really cool.

The collaboration is a real boost for both brands. Through this partnership they have both acquired progress and innovation. Bold colours have been used, a dystopian graphic language, a translucent sole. The design is really influenced by Samuel Ross’ taste that has brought these shoes to another level.

Why should you consider this collaboration seriously?

Stretch and comfortable shoes, an exaggerated sole, classical Converse motifs as the suede and leather combination and rounded shapes.
