The partnership between Converse and Tyler, the Creator’s GOLF le FLEUR* has spawned a new silhouette. Introducing the Converse GLF 2.0.
Tyler’s goal when designing the GLF 2.0 was to create a lightweight shoe whose simple shape allows for a casual or preppy look. As the name implies, the model is the successor to the original OG GOLF le FLEUR* x Converse model, itself being a remix of the Converse One Star. Instead of the all-suede design of the original, the GLF 2.0 features a canvas upper with suede overlays. Other features include a lightweight CX liner, cup sole construction, and a pop color outsole. The overall shape takes some cues from the Pro Leather and is a nod to skate styles that have informed much of the past releases from this partnership.
The GLF 2.0 is devoid of side panel flower motifs from the original, though still exudes GOLF aesthetic due to its bold color blocking and wavy overlays, the latter nodding to another original GOLF x Converse silhouette, the Gianno. The debut colorways come in Oil Green and Bison, as well as Curry and Copper Tan. As a final touch, GOLF le FLEUR*’s boat motif appears on the tongue tags.
The Converse GLF 2.0 will be available globally on June 8th on Converse.com (10am ET) and via GOLF le FLEUR*. Retail price is $110 USD. Check out both colorways below.
