Converse 1HUND(RED) Artists is an unprecedented global curation project designed to further support Converse’s partnership with (RED). Using Converse as a blank canvas, each artist, tasked with the creation of an original design, developed unique shoes that range from playful, graphic cartoon character images to designs that emphasize the importance of the (PRODUCT) RED mission to fight AIDS in Africa. 10% of the net wholesale price of these shoes goes to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Geneva, Switzerland).

Converse 1HUND(RED) Artists shoes are available now at Canvas, 23410 Civic Center Way, Malibu, CA 90265 and artist original artwork will be on display on the first floor gallery space through Monday, June 30th.
