The Streets Meet the Diamond: UNDEFEATED x Converse "Brooklyn Dodgers

The UNDEFEATED and Converse collaboration on the Chuck 70 “Brooklyn Dodgers” is a soulful tribute to a baseball era that redefined the sport. By focusing on the franchise’s first 68 seasons before their 1958 move to Los Angeles, the project honors the heavy cultural legacy of Jackie Robinson and the borough’s original grit. The design swaps traditional canvas for a premium black faux ostrich leather, elevated by a stitched “B” logo and localized Brooklyn embroidery on the tongue. It’s a thoughtful blend of East Coast history and West Coast streetwear sensibility, finished with baby blue interior accents and triple-branded heel plates that anchor the shoe in both the past and the present.

The campaign’s authenticity is cemented by the presence of Futura, the legendary graffiti pioneer whose roots are deeply embedded in the 1970s New York art scene. As a Brooklyn-born visionary who evolved subway art into a global abstract movement, Futura is the natural bridge between the borough’s historic identity and modern street culture. His lifelong history of breaking artistic barriers mirrors the trailblazing spirit of the Dodgers themselves, making him the perfect architect to front this narrative.

Dropping on April 18 for $110 USD, the release will be available at UNDEFEATED and the MLB Shop, serving as a full-circle moment for those who value the intersection of sport, art, and community.
