Swarovski has long partnered with footwear brands to add luxury and the jeweler’s signature crystal gems to various models. While most recently making news with its Air Max Plus collaboration and an ultra-limited collab with adidas on a pair of baseball cleats, Swarovski is now linking up with Converse on the Run Star Trainer.
Across the deep emerald green upper sits a combo of luxurious materials, including suede and satin, alongside varying-sized Swarovski crystals, making each pair a 1-of-1. Suede overlays in a tonal hue hit the T-shaped toebox overlay, the vamp, eyestays, and heel overlays. On the base, visible on the midfoot and the tongue, we see a satin material that, like the suede panels, comes with tonal stitching details.
