Converse and Los Angeles-based clothing brand Madhappy return with a new collaboration, following their first release in December 2025. The latest pack honors the West Coast through five limited-edition versions of the Chuck 70, offered in both Hi and Ox silhouettes. The release places Madhappy’s modern, optimistic perspective inside one of Converse’s most recognizable designs, using material updates, enlarged details, and hand-done finishes to give the sneaker a fresh seasonal identity.

Gene Gallagher fronts the campaign, photographed by Angela Hill. The imagery builds on the visual language Madhappy and Converse introduced with their first collaboration, focusing on youth through instinct, energy, and constant motion.
The collection centers on the Chuck 70, a silhouette that already carries a strong visual history within Converse. Madhappy approaches the model through intentional details and premium materials, giving familiar elements a more playful scale. Felt patches bring a nostalgic note to the design, while oversized star cut-outs in suede create a clear visual marker. Pinstripe interiors add another layer to the construction, and cursive co-branding brings both names into the design with a softer graphic touch.
The five colorways give the pack its full range. Graystone, Lipstick Red, Natural Ivory, Black, and Thunderdaze Pinstripe shape the lineup through Americana hues, giving each pair its own place within the release. The palette keeps the collection grounded while allowing Madhappy to adjust the Chuck 70 through color, texture, and finish.
Both silhouettes carry the same collaborative direction, giving the pack a broader range for different styling choices. The Hi version brings the taller Chuck 70 shape into focus, while the Ox gives the collaboration a lower profile. The Graystone colorway of the Chuck 70 Hi will release exclusively through Madhappy. The Converse x Madhappy Chuck 70 collection launches Friday, May 15, through Madhappy website, Madhappy Shops, Converse website, and select retailers.
