Converse x Bandulu
The real art of faking: Bandulu brings bootleg street luxury to the Chuck 70, Pro Leather and a collection of limited-edition gear and apparel.
This collaboration sits at the intersection of art and sport: Bandulu’s street luxury aesthetic meets Converse’s classic basketball heritage. On the soulful Pro Leather, Bandulu applies their signature embroidered paint splatters—a distinct style developed in art school to cover up stains and upcycle vintage clothing. While the drops appear accidental, their composition and color are meticulously designed and finished with handsewn silk. Bandulu means “fake” in Jamaican Patois, but the elevated artistry is for real.
