Check Mate

Posted April 10, 2007
Junya Watanabe is the latest designer to do a high-low collaboration—his checked Converse have just hit stores. Chuck Taylor purists may swear by the originals, but these eighties versions are perfect to pair with skinny jeans and come in three color combos: red-white, black-white, and navy-white. Plus they’re a fun alternative to those dull white kicks everyone’s sporting.

$84 at Jeffrey New York, 449 W. 14th St., nr. Tenth Ave.; 212-206-1272.
