comes to mind when you think of Campbell’s condensed tomato soup? Andy Warhol that’s what! If you we’re thinking of a warm crusty roll then…HA! The Pop-Art icon, famous for his striking use of screen printing, painted the faces of the rich and famous, and now Warhol’s work is featuring on Converse’s SS15 collection of Chuck Taylors.

The All Stars have teamed up with The Andy Warhol Foundation to create a series of high and low tops wrapped in the artists’ greatest and most recognisable works. Legend has it that Warhol once screen printed a pair of his own Chuck Taylors, making this collaboration a celebration of his work.

‘That’ soup can is available in multiple prints and colourways, the triple can print high-tops get our vote. Launching on February 7th, proceeds from each purchase go to The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. If you fancy seeing the real thing, head to the MoMa NYC. Hmmm, soup for lunch we think!
