The Kenzo x Converse Chuck Taylor Hana Leopard Collection Releases April 2025

Published April 11, 2025

Paris fashion house Kenzo named NIGO its artistic director in 2021, having helped lead the label for the past four years. While his time has seen the brand collaborate in the footwear space with Asics, NIGO himself is now under contract with Nike. This connection is finally paying off for Kenzo, as Converse, which Nike Inc. owns, has given them a three-pack of sneakers to collaborate on.

The entire collection, which includes two Chuck Taylor Ox colorways and one high-top variant, is centered around the brand’s Hana Leopard print design. Starting with the low-top Ox variants, one pair opts for a light pink and white combination, applying the Hana Leopard print across the canvas upper in these hues. The other colorway features a green, black, and white mixture, again using these shades for the print.

Finally, the high-top comes with a white, black, and tan combo that displays the floral leopard print more clearly. All three pairs come with an added boke flower hang tag, which acts as Kenzo’s logo, and Kenzo Paris branding on the heel license plate. Another hit of the brand’s flower logo is split between the two gum outsoles, which, when placed side-by-side, creates the reddish-orange logo.

The Kenzo x Converse Chuck Taylor Hana Leopard Collection will release on April 17, 2025, through Converse and select retailers online and in-store. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is $140 for the Ox and $150 for the High-top Chuck Taylor.
