Dave’s Quality (RED) Meat

As a continued part of Converse’s contribution to (PRODUCT) RED, they've introduced a new collaboration with NYC based Dave’s Quality Meat. These limited-edition custom Chuck Taylors will arrive at DQM in early February and retail for $100 with 10% of sales going directly to (PRODUCT) RED’s Global Fund. DQM’s Dave Ortiz choose an electric blue leather upper and adorned them with hieroglyphics and other esoteric symbols such as the ankh (to symbolize life) and the Egyptian Chnoubis serpent symbol (that represents protection from diseases and poison). Dave had this to say about why he came up with this particular design:

“Because (PRODUCT) RED is about ending AIDS in Africa, I wanted to tie-in symbols from Africa that would represent the fight.”

And let's face it, if you're going to be all philanthropic and help fight the good fight, you might as well do it in style.
