In recent years, the sneaker world has begun to rediscover values beyond mere “newness.” Alongside futuristic technology and performance-driven design, there is growing appreciation for the atmosphere carried by well-worn products and the textures that emerge through time.

agnès b. has announced its third collaboration with CONVERSE, launching on May 27, 2026.

The collaboration is based on the “ALL STAR AGED,” a model that preserves CONVERSE’s classic design language while recreating the look and feel of a sneaker aged through years of wear. Here, that vintage sensibility is combined with the understated playfulness characteristic of agnès b.

Reframing Vintage for the Present

What makes this collaboration particularly compelling is that it does not overstate its vintage references.

The Navy model features black detailing across the toe, foxing tape, and heel patch, creating a restrained contrast that enhances its quiet vintage mood.

Meanwhile, the Red version pairs a deep crimson upper with an off-white sole, evoking the atmosphere of classic American sportswear.

Rather than functioning as a simple retro revival, the collection feels closer to a contemporary reinterpretation of “beauty shaped by wear and time.”

Where French Chic Meets American Classicism

For decades, agnès b. has cultivated a timeless vision of French casualwear deeply connected to music, art, and cinema. CONVERSE, meanwhile, has long transcended its origins as a sportswear brand to become part of street culture and fashion history itself.

This collaboration naturally brings together the sensibilities of both brands through subtle details.

The sneakers feature a lower toe spring that recreates a classic silhouette, cotton heel tape inspired by vintage CONVERSE archive models, and insoles printed with agnès b.’s signature 12mm-pitch stripe motif. A discreet agnès b. logo is also placed on the toe.

In contemporary fashion, value is increasingly shifting away from overt branding toward details appreciated quietly by those who notice them. These sneakers embody that same restrained sensibility.

The Luxury of Wearing Something for Years

Today, longevity itself is becoming a form of modern luxury.

The timeless wardrobe philosophy long proposed by agnès b., combined with the enduring sneaker design language cultivated by CONVERSE, naturally intersect in this collaboration.

Rather than something to preserve untouched, these sneakers seem designed to evolve through wear — gradually becoming complete over time alongside the person wearing them.
