Converse has produced a Pride design most years, and the 2021 high-top is among the more saturated of them: a white canvas upper printed with the full spread of flag colours and finished with white laces, white eyelets and white rubber so nothing competes with the artwork. The all-white trim is what separates it from the 2019 and 2020 pairs, which used black to outline the colours.
A white ground gives a multi-colour print maximum brightness, at the cost of being the hardest base to keep clean on a high-top. The shoe itself is the everyday Chuck Taylor All Star, with the three-piece bottom sole and the printed patch that mark it out from the heavier 70. At $70 it carried a small premium over a plain canvas high-top, reflecting the print coverage. It arrived on 17 May 2021.
