For anyone not intimately acquainted with modern ‘street’ culture, it’d probably be easy to confuse Patta and Parra. You can start to see similarities beyond their nearly-identical European names, upon viewing the former’s entire collection for Converse. Let’s take the Lincoln/Kennedy-style analysis a step further: Parra, who designed a special Converse STAR PLAYER 2V VARSITY CANVAS Handbag CONVERSE 10021425-A02 664 XLARGE×CONVERSE CHEVRONSTAR SK BEAK REACT CH OX and two matching varsity jackets. Meanwhile, Patta had designed two Converse hightops (quilted grey Chuck and burgundy corduroy Pro Leather 76) with a reversible varsity jacket to match or contrast either pair. These dropped in Europe back in September, but will be hitting select U.S. retailers like HUF Converse Zip Ox TakahiroMiyashita TheSoloist White Red.
