DAILY PAPER TEASES CONVERSE “ROUND II” COLLABORATION

Daily Paper and Converse are officially gearing up for the second round of their collaborative footwear project. The Amsterdam-based streetwear brand teased the return of this partnership via Instagram, posting a close-up shot of the upcoming sneaker’s translucent outsoles featuring a repeated Daily Paper logo pattern. The soles also hint at a slightly upgraded construction, with visible inserts suggesting improved cushioning or structural reinforcement. The caption, simply reading “ROUND II…” followed by a clock emoji, confirms that this is not just a restock, but an entirely new iteration of the previous release.

The first Daily Paper x Converse collaboration, which dropped in 2022, saw immense popularity, blending Converse’s classic Chuck 70 silhouette with Daily Paper’s signature Afrocentric design language. The collection paid homage to Daily Paper’s roots, culture, and community through patterns, textures, and storytelling embedded in the shoes and apparel. It sold out quickly, cementing the partnership as one of Converse’s most anticipated collaborative projects in recent years. The upcoming release seems to continue this narrative, promising another fusion of streetwear aesthetics and heritage.

From the teaser, it is clear that Daily Paper and Converse are focusing on attention to detail. The insoles feature Daily Paper’s recognizable diagonal logo motif arranged across the sole, making even the bottom of the shoe a design element. The translucent outsole hints at a premium finish, a growing trend in collaborative sneakers to elevate the classics beyond their traditional form. While no official release date has been confirmed, the caption’s use of a clock emoji suggests that the drop could be imminent, and fans should stay alert for further announcements.

This teaser has already generated buzz among sneaker enthusiasts and the Daily Paper community. With over a thousand likes and comments in less than a day, the anticipation for “Round II” is clearly building. Given Daily Paper’s commitment to storytelling and Converse’s legacy in sneaker culture, this collaboration is expected to deliver both style and substance. As sneaker collaborations continue to drive excitement in the fashion world, this Daily Paper x Converse project is shaping up to be one of the standout releases of 2025.
