Not every Pride design shouts. This one uses Wolf Grey, a cool mid-grey, as its base and places the flag colours as detail work rather than as an allover print, which makes it the most wearable of the three pairs Converse released on 6 May 2019. Black on the laces and eyelets sharpens the grey, and every rubber component stays white.
Grey also changes how the colours read. Against white, rainbow tones look brighter and flatter; against a neutral grey they gain depth and the warmer shades in the spectrum come forward. The shoe itself is the everyday Chuck Taylor All Star high-top, built the way it has been for decades and left entirely alone for the colourway. The price was $65.
