Designed with the ethos that less is more, Samuel Ross applies his cutting edge to deliver a unique slip-on style brimming with character and a forward-thinking sensibility. Featuring a spandex collar for a snug but comfortable fit, a Sculpted Crater foam body makes up the majority of the striking construction.

Detailed with printed branding to the midsole and exaggerated egg crate style traction pods across the outsole, Converse and A-COLD-WALL* present an avant-garde sneaker style that breaks the mould, balancing considered design with a conceptual approach inspired by Samuel Ross’ signature codes.
