NYC Label Vaquera Puts Converse's Y2K Skate Shoe on a Kitten Heel, Dropping Oct. 27
NYC label Vaquera and Converse turn the archival CS Pro-1 skate shoe into the VX-1 Heel, a kitten-heel version featuring Kim Petras. It launches October 27 at 2:00 PM on Nike's site for $250.
Vaquera, the New York label, is back with Converse for the VX-1 Heel. The shoe goes on sale October 27 at 2:00 PM on Nike's site and retails for $250.
The starting point is the CS Pro-1, a puffy Y2K-era skate shoe from the Converse archives. The new version keeps that chunky profile but sits it on a kitten heel, merging skate-shoe bulk with a dressier lift. The official description frames the result as an unapologetically expressive combination that defies convention.
The details lean playful. The shoe has retro eyelet covers, a heel pull with translucent detailing and a co-branded molded rubber tongue label. It comes in black and grey, under the style code A19133C-100. Singer Kim Petras is featured in the project.
The release is online only, with a set start time. If you want a pair, log in to your Nike account ahead of 2:00 PM on the 27th, since collaborations like this tend to move quickly. It is a good fit for anyone who follows Vaquera's downtown sensibility and wants a heel that still looks like a sneaker.
