Converse and Paris-based fashion label Vaquera have joined forces to unveil the XXXHi Slouch Wedge and XHi Slouch Wedge, a bold reinterpretation of the iconic Chuck silhouette that merges Converse’s timeless design language with Vaquera’s subversive, narrative-driven creativity.

Founded in 2013 by Patric DiCaprio and Bryn Taubensee, Vaquera has built a cult following for its irreverent approach to fashion celebrating contradiction, individuality, and self-expression. From their viral pillow dresses to their place on the Paris Fashion Week calendar, the brand has become a symbol of fashion’s avant-garde spirit.

Unveiled during Vaquera’s Fall/Winter 2025 presentation, the Converse × Vaquera XXXHi Slouch Wedge and XHi Slouch Wedge reimagine the Chuck into exaggerated, textile-heavy silhouettes with hidden wedge soles. The XXXHi extends above the knee, while the XHi falls just below, both designed to challenge proportion and movement. Constructed in synthetic-waxed canvas that softens with wear, the design retains Converse’s signature elements the patch, pinstripes, and canvas while infusing Vaquera’s experimental attitude.
