Suicidal Tendencies yhteistyöhön Conversen kanssa: luvassa uusi vaatemallisto
Yhdysvaltalainen crossover-pioneeri Suicidal Tendencies on aloittamassa yhteistyötä Conversen kanssa. Yhteistyön tuloksena yhtye on lanseeraamassa syyskuun 7. päivä ”Converse x Suicidal Tendencies” -nimellä kulkevan vaatemalliston, joka sisältää kenkiä ja erilaisia paitoja. Bändin laulaja Mike Muir on kommentoinut yhteistyötä seuraavasti:
“When I was young, I still remember getting my first pair of ‘Chucks’ for my birthday and how stoked I was to wear them to school the next day. It was almost like a rite of passage, the beautiful thing about them is whatever ‘direction’ you were headed, you could go there with your Chucks.”
“All these years later, Converse has the same meaning to me. Just as young Mike will never forget putting on his first pair of Chucks, I can’t wait to relive that amazing feeling with the new Converse x Suicidal Tendencies, a massively proud moment for the band, our fans and of course me personally!”
