An homage to craft and culture, the Carhartt WIP x Converse One Star Academy Pro Low “Starfish Dark Earth” combines archival design with unique details, blending signature colours and subtle applications. This collaboration brings raw aesthetics to the iconic One Star look with modern touches tailored for skateboarding. Featuring triple-stitched detailing, an elevated tonal design, and co-branded logos, this trainer merges Carhartt WIP’s workwear heritage with Converse’s classic sneaker design.
The One Star Academy Pro boasts an overlaid tri-panel suede construction and added foxing height for enhanced durability. Hidden details pay homage to Carhartt WIP’s roots. Designed with skateboarders in mind, the One Star Academy Pro includes lock-in elastic tongue straps to keep the tongue securely in place and a CX foam sockliner for superior cushioning. The CONS traction rubber outsole provides excellent grip, boardfeel, and flick, making it perfect for skateboarding.
The low-top sneaker features a suede upper for durability, a CONS traction rubber outsole, and a spare lace. The tri-panel upper design incorporates archival Carhartt WIP colours, and the elevated triple needle-stitched “stripes” reference the stitching on Carhartt WIP trousers. Co-branding on the tongue and sockliner, along with an embossed One Star logo and Carhartt WIP flag tag on the outer side, highlight the creative collaboration between Carhartt WIP and Converse.
The combination of functionality and heritage makes these trainers a notable addition to any collection. The “Starfish/Dark Earth” colourway adds a rugged yet refined look, making these trainers versatile and eye-catching.
