Converse has welcomed global music and style icon KARINA to the family.
She has made her brand debut in two distinct expressions of Converse’s most iconic franchise, the Chuck 70 X and the Run Star Crush, each reflecting a different dimension of self-expression.
KARINA exists at the intersection of performance, fashion, and contemporary culture, moving effortlessly across aesthetics without being confined to a single identity.
That instinct for fluid self-expression aligns with Converse’s core ethos of authenticity, individuality, and the freedom to define your own path.
“Both on stage and off, I love breaking the mould and exploring my individuality through style, and Converse is a natural canvas for that,” said Karina
“I’m excited to join the Converse family and inspire others to celebrate their creativity and express themselves boldly.”
Together, the Chuck 70 X and Run Star Crush fuse heritage with experimentation. The Chuck 70 X has elevated the icon through craftsmanship and modern detailing, while the Run Star Crush has pushed boundaries with exaggerated proportions, sculptural design, and lightweight lift.
The Run Star Crush is available now at select New Zealand retailers.
