Tyler, The Creator has been somewhat of a longtime collaborator of Converse with his GOLF le FLEUR* line and now the artist is adding to new sneakers to the lineup – a Chuck 70 and a Gianno. The Chuck 70 has a pastel pink upper with the GOLF le FLEUR* text logo wrapped around the back in baby blue Chenille and an embroidered yellow outline. The Gianno, a reimagined take on a retro hiking silhouette, is also dropping in three colorways: tan, black/burnt orange/blue and white/cream/turquoise. These kicks are ideal for those who are still keen to rock the ’90s wide skate shoe trend.

Musician Travis Scott‘s latest collaboration with Nike is a take on the classic Air Force 1 silhouette dubbed, like his previous partnerships, “Cactus Jack.” Inspired by his childhood in Missouri City, Texas, the sneaker has a patchwork quilt-style finish with panels in differing colors and materials like corduroy, canvas, suede and leather forming the upper. In place of the laces, there’s a chunky, exposed zipper upon the tongue and a strap on the heel with a gold-toned button with “TX” engraved acts as a final nod to the rapper’s home state.
