D&D General Converse Releasing Limited Edition Dungeons & Dragons Sneakers

Converse announced four special edition Chuck Taylor hi-top sneakers with Dungeons & Dragons graphics. The collection will feature designs incorporating details from Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons.

​

Two sneakers will feature Chuck 70s style in canvas and leather, while the other two will be Chuck All-Star. The leather version of the All-Star will include a variant logo resembling a d20, while the canvas version will include illustrations of Warduke the Fighter, Kelek the Sorcerer, and Zarak the Assassin from the 1980s D&D action figure series. Some graphic options will also be available in the Converse By You custom shoe designer.

Cool! D&D has teamed up with other companies to make official shoes and apparel before, but not with any company so well known as Converse. This should bode well.

There's some info and pics of the D&D/Converse collab. Looks like the line of shoes, shirts, hats, and shorts will feature art from the AD&D days. Assets will also be added to Converse By You, so if none of these designs strike your fancy you can make your own. The release date for the line is April 11, but if you're at Gary Con this weekend you can pick some up there.

What I find amusing is how the art from ye olden days is what is being used. Nothing modern has become iconic yet.

D&D as a lifestyle brand seems weird, but I guess I am just not the target market.

No thanks.

Now, an Adidas line? Man, I want to squat in an AD&D (AAD&D ?) tracksuit and smoke cigarettes.

That would be really cool. Everyone would love me.

I think this is Cons knowing their market for the product is older people with lots of money who like to remember the 80s/90s
