In the world of sneakers, the name Converse is synonymous with style, comfort, and timeless appeal. The brand’s collaboration with Footpatrol, a renowned London-based sneaker shop, has resulted in a unique collection that pays homage to the classic American sporting heritage. The Converse by Footpatrol lookbooks, printed by Ex Why Zed, a leading sneaker brand look book printing company, beautifully encapsulate the essence of this collaboration.
The Footpatrol and Converse collaboration reimagines the iconic Chuck 70 and Jack Purcell shoes for Spring/Summer 2019. The collection draws inspiration from the shoes’ classic American sporting heritage, featuring authentic collegiate-inspired colour ways and fabrics. The collection also includes a collaborative collegiate-inspired hoodie, designed to be reversible.

The Chuck 70, a modern ode to the Chuck Taylor All-Star, is constructed with an asymmetrical loopback fleece and satin panelled upper that resembles warm up apparel.As a silhouette with deliberate nuances and acute attention to detail, it hosts hidden discovery elements, such as its contrast silver eyelets, which nod to the popper fastenings found on coach jackets, and a transparent graphic basketball outsole, which pays homage to the shoe’s sport history.Similarly, the Jack Purcell, originally released as a badminton shoe in 1933, features an asymmetrical upper with loopback and wool materials. The build is reminiscent of the construction of a varsity jacket with leather hints and pops of colour and hosts the ever-recognisable ‘smile’ on the toecap, a quintessential feature of the silhouette.
The lookbooks for this collection were printed as A5 books, with a 4pp cover onto 300gsm Silk with Matt Lamination to the outer. The 36pp text was printed onto 130gsm Silk, with four colour print throughout. The books were then trimmed, collated, and perfect bound. The quality of the print and the attention to detail reflect the high standards of Ex Why Zed, a trusted name in creative sector printing.
This is a compelling publication with a winning print spec and glorious product photography. The silk choice is professional and makes the images the main focal point. Silk is a cost-effective choice so if you are looking to print a footwear or clothing lookbook we would suggest this is a very nice project to replicate.
