Converse, Slam Jam and Cali Thornhill Dewitt have officially unveiled their latest Urban Utility Collection that includes the Chuck ’70 Hiker (the original Chuck Taylor All Star reconstructed as a GORE-TEX hiker) and Converse Jump Boot (a Jack Purcell-style ode to paratrooper footwear).

The capsule is inspired by a generation that rallies around community and freedom of expression, and for whom functionality means nothing if it’s creatively limiting. Dewitt’s graphics, formed of his notorious all-caps punk-style lettering and translated into English, Farsi, Italian, Korean, French, Russian and Hebrew, aims to deliver a powerful message. It may seem in contrast to the starkness of the Urban Utility aesthetic but serves to balance ideas of freedom of motion and freedom of thought.

The 17-piece capsule collection is built with cross-seasonality in mind and features layering options from short-sleeve Converse Essentials jersey tees and long sleeve thermals and hoodies to the pinnacle men’s GORE-TEX Utility Jacket.

Look for the Converse x Slam Jam x Cali Thornhill Dewitt Urban Utility Collection to release on December 5th at select Converse retailers and Converse.com.
