You can check out more about all of the additions below as they are now up for sale on their website, as well as in person at select Converse stores in Boston, NYC and California.
Fastbreak Pro ($90)
The '80s basketball classic-turned-skate shoe offers a suede and leather upper, staying somewhat subtle while also evoking Topo Chico's signature "bottle-green" in its tongue patch and colored outsole. Quinonez infuses his Mexican "Neo Indigenous" style with gold line graphics along the ankle collar for a pop of color.
Chuck Taylor All-Star Ox ($70)
The low-tops boasts bodega-vibes with Spanish word graphics like Qué Sabrosa! (English translation to 'How Tasty!') throughout the canvas upper. The midsole layers Topo Chico's iconic yellow bottle cap over the classic Chuck stripe.
Chuck Taylor All-Star Hi Top ($75)
Tattoo-inspired prints and colorful graphics, including embroidered red rose petals, embellish the canvas upper while the condensation-dripping Chuck patch and translucent-green outsole are reminiscent of the signature Topo Chico bottle that fans know and love.
Converse x Topo Chico T-Shirt ($40)
The vibrant design features graphics of red roses on the front and back coupled with Spanish phrases, a Topo Chico Mineral Water bottle and screen-printed Converse and Topo Chico logos. The Mexican indigenous influence of colors and graphics similarly come through on a black fleece hoodie and white t-shirt.
Converse x Topo Chico Hoodie ($80)
The black fleece hoodie features Topo Chico's iconic yellow bottle cap emblem screen-printed on the front and yellow Topo Chico branding down the right sleeve and on the back.
