Vaquera and Converse unveil the XXXHi Slouch Wedge and XHi Slouch Wedge — a bold reinterpretation of the iconic Chuck silhouette. The collaboration highlights materiality and construction, merging Converse’s classic design language with Vaquera’s subversive, narrative-driven approach.
Unveiled during Vaquera’s Fall/Winter 2025 presentation, the Converse × Vaquera XXXHi Slouch Wedge and XHi Slouch Wedge transform the Chuck into slouched, textile-heavy expressions with hidden wedge soles, each designed to exaggerate proportion and movement. Wrapped in synthetic-waxed canvas that softens and patinas with wear, the collection reimagines Converse’s signature details, such as the patch, pinstripes, and canvas, through Vaquera’s experimental lens.
“We love to take something well-known like the Chuck and make it feel new. We kept a lot of the iconic elements of the Chuck but removed the laces and supersized the upper. The effect is something familiar while at the same time unknown and exciting.” – Bryn Taubensee, co-founder, Vaquera.
