Just Landed: Marimekko x Converse at Pirkko

The must-have, in-demand high-tops of summer aren’t hard to get if you find yourself at Pike Place Market.

Marimekko, the Finnish fashion and lifestyle brand that continues to look fresh and ageless decade after decade, recently turned 70.

Among the line’s celebratory collaborations is a capsule collection with … who else? Converse.

The sneakers are a hot commodity of course—sneakers themselves being so infinitely collectible and covetable, especially when there’s a limited number circulating a rapid, fashion-hungry globe. The high-tops and Jack Purcell low-tops are hard to get—unless you live in Seattle that is.

Pirkko, the Swede specialists near Pike Place Market, have them on their shelves. I was told they’re getting orders from Australia and beyond, so if you’re in the uh, market, for a pair yourself, better head there in person sometime soon.

We’ve got a couple styles in the slideshow here; for more, check the Pirkko site.
