To round out 2019, Pigalle in December again joined forces with Nike to bring two refurbished basketball courts to youth in Mexico City. Located in the Juan de la Barrera Olympic Gymnasium, these newly refurbished courts will foster and empower the basketball community in the city, while offering them a safe space to enjoy sport.
Adjacent footwear channels the past and present of basketball culture and extends Stephen Ashpool's (Pigalle) connections across NIKE, Inc. by delivering a vibrant take on the Converse Chuck 70 and a streamlined colorway of the Converse All Star Pro BB (which debuted in Paris in summer 2019). The Chuck 70 comes in two colorways, one a play on Converse's iconic natural canvas, the other featuring a gradient scheme. Both are created with a technical fuse film atop the canvas, a design element that gives the shoes an aura of future tech and classic style. This supports Ashpool's desire to merge cultures, which also comes through in his use of Converse footwear to celebrate "the power of music to move the world forward" (a phrase used on the white Chuck 70's rand) and promote a holistic view of the progressive value of sport and arts.
