Cult sneaker brand Converse is reaching out to streetwear fans with its newly released Breakpoint collection. The brand worked with four well-respected streetwear and footwear retailers - Footpatrol in London, Patta in Amsterdam, Starcow in Paris and Solebox in Berlin - on the new footwear line.

Each store created a sneaker inspired by their city's local culture, and each of the brands also curated 20 pages of inspirational artwork for the Converse CONS Breakpoint zine.

"We’re really excited to celebrate the launch of the new Converse CONS Breakpoint sneaker in partnership with four cultural heavyweights, and be able to share the inspirational creative vision of their cities through the Breakpoint Zine," said Martina Luger, Brand Director Converse EMEA.
