In lackluster kicks, even the fanciest footwork falls flat. But lace up a pair that pop, and you’re bound to leave a bold imprint wherever you go.

Step it up with the new Converse Marimekko Collection, a fresh collab between the go-to sneaks maker and expressive Finnish textile brand that feels like such a natural fit, you may be surprised it hasn’t debuted until now. Available online at Saks, the line of favorite Converse canvases elated by Marimekko’s signature 1960s prints presents a footwear statement that’s not already in your closet.

You’ll find that geometric patterns, like Kirppu (a spattering of red or black triangles on a white background), rise above simple footwear status to meet your daily means of self-expression.

Now that’s going outside the (shoe) box.
