KARINA from aespa has joined global sneaker brand Converse as an official ambassador. Known for her trendsetting fashion sense and versatility, KARINA serves as the campaign model for two new products: Run Star Crush and Chuck 70 X. The Run Star Crush features a classic Chuck upper paired with an exaggerated molded foam midsole in a playful chunky silhouette, offering an avant-garde yet surprisingly lightweight design perfect for daily street style. The Chuck 70 X, on the other hand, reimagines the signature high-top with subtle vintage vibes, dual star bumper details, an updated leather patch, and a tongue stabilizer for all-day comfort. KARINA stated that she loves breaking boundaries and exploring her individuality through style both on stage and in everyday life, highlighting Converse as the perfect canvas for self-expression. The Chuck 70 X will be released globally through the Converse website on August 27th.
