In the spirit of the celebration, Converse has also released a pride collection that incorporates the Progress Pride Flag stitched into the tongue of each shoe. The collection includes the Run Star Legacy CX, Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel, Chuck 70 Plus, Chuck 70, Chuck Taylor All Star Lift, and Chuck Taylor All Star, along with an assortment of apparel. Each silhouette is adorned with unique embellishments, such as Pride laces woven through the Run Star Legacy CX, rainbow outsoles anchoring the Chuck 70 Plus, and a chunky glitter upper on the recently introduced Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel.

In addition to the special capsule, on June 17, the brand will host an event called Glitter Gala, which will celebrate the community with special performances by Brigiding and DJ Kate Jagdon. The event will take place at the Brooklyn Warehouse Manila and is open to the public.
