Converse x Daily Paper "Rise Through The Ropes" Collab

After the success of their 2023 “Colors of Independence” drop, Converse and Amsterdam-based streetwear brand Daily Paper return to the creative ring with a new collaboration: “Rise Through the Ropes.” This latest capsule takes heavy inspiration from the grit, symbolism, and storytelling of boxing, framing it all through a lens of style and cultural pride.

More than just fashion, the collection speaks to tenacity, heritage, and bold identity. It’s about more than clothes—it’s about the fight to rise.

Footwear With Punch and Pride

At the heart of the release is the Star Player 76, a retro-inspired silhouette reimagined with modern attitude. It comes in both high- and low-top versions. The high-top rocks a “White Sand” palette with leather and canvas, reflecting quiet strength. The low-top, meanwhile, stands out with a bold Black base highlighted by red, yellow, and green—colors tied to Daily Paper’s pan-African roots.

Both versions feature dual branding, standout star graphics, and premium detailing. It’s a perfect fusion of design that’s expressive, wearable, and loaded with purpose.

Apparel That Carries a Message

The five-piece apparel capsule builds on the boxing inspiration. Leading the charge is a stadium jacket adorned with vibrant embroidered patches and color accents that mirror the shoes. It captures the raw essence of the boxing gym while reflecting cultural pride.

Two cozy fleece hoodies, wide-leg pants, and a thermal long-sleeve tee round out the drop—each piece blending relaxed tailoring with movement-ready materials. Everything is made for real life, in and out of the metaphorical ring.

Casablanca as a Canvas

The campaign was shot in Casablanca, Morocco—chosen not just for visual aesthetics, but for the deeper cultural connection it offers to both brands. The visuals show scenes of individuals powering through challenge and stepping into confidence, echoing the spirit of a fighter’s journey.

The Moroccan backdrop adds richness, grounding the collaboration in a real-world setting that balances tradition and modernity—just like the pieces themselves.

Design That Speaks Volumes

What sets this collab apart is its emotional resonance. Converse and Daily Paper don’t just make gear—they tell stories. From the meaning behind every color to the athletic-meets-lifestyle tailoring, “Rise Through the Ropes” is a statement on resilience, identity, and progress.

Where to Cop

The full collection is available now on Daily Paper’s online store and select global retailers. Given the impact of their last drop, this one’s likely to move quickly.
