Todd Snyder and Converse have teamed up again to create a thoroughly modern mash-up of streetwear and traditional gentleman’s fabrics (tartans and British Millerain’s water-resistant waxed cotton).

Rebel Prep is an 18-piece collection, which includes rugby shirts, track suits, hoodies and parkas. At the heart of it are Snyder’s fresh takes on two iconic Converse sneakers. The Chuck 70 Hi Top and the Jack Purcell Ox are remade in a waxed canvas pattern from British Millerain. (British Millerain has been making water-resistant fabrics for outdoorsmen and the military since the 19th Century.)

“The collection was inspired by the way that artists, rock stars and other rebels effortlessly mix sportswear with more sartorial styles,” says Snyder.

The opportunity to purchase the limited-edition Chuck 70 Hi Top will be offered in a raffle. The raffle opens on January 20th and closes on January 24, 2022 at 11:59AM ET.

The remainder of the Rebel Prep Collection launches January 27, 2022 at 11AM ET.

Additional product details are below…

The Jack Purcell Ox: The OG court sneaker turns up in a water-repellent waxed canvas camo pattern with an orange interior and a cork sock liner for comfort.

The Chuck 70 Hi Top: The classic basketball sneaker gets a gentlemanly refresh in water-repellent waxed canvas from British Millerain.

The Parka: A fishtail raincoat in a water-repellent British Millerain waxed canvas that’s available in Khaki and Camo.

The Technical Cardigan: This racquet-pattern cardigan in a technical fabric is a nod to Jack Purcell’s origin as a badminton sneaker.

The Varsity Jacket: A satin-nylon Letterman jacket with a plaid applique PURCELL on the back.

The Velour Rugby: A long sleeve polo in velour with tipping on the collar and cuffs and a subtle logo on the chest.

The Helmet Bag: Inspired by the bags that test pilots once carried their helmets in, the straps adjust so this can be worn as a cross-body, shoulder bag, or knapsack.
