Converse fans unite! SoJones is crazy over Converse X Gorillaz collaboration. The world’s most famous virtual band inspired Converse’s Spring 2012 collection which combines the band’s graphic images with the iconic Chuck Taylor All Star design.

The signature piece would be the camouflage print, which is taken from the band’s album cover. If you’re crazy about another form of hightop shoes, check the consistent military theme featuring an image of the Gorillaz’s Pazuzu character on a black/brown canvas hi-top shoe. The character is also featured on the Chuck Taylor All Star hi-top and also an oxford shoe with a black and white version of the print on the outsole plus another Gorillaz camouflage print in the lining.

Also make sure you get the real thing as all the shoes from the collection include a Gorillaz heel tab and hangtag. The collaboration doesn’t stop there, as Converse will also include the latest of its “Three Artists. One Song” signature campaign featuring Gorillaz, James Murphy and Andre 3000.

Previous collaborations from the campaign include Matt & Kim, Soulja Boy and Andrew W.K. who teamed up for “I’m A Goner” and also Santigold, Pharrell, Julian Casablancas for “My Drive Thru”.

The Gorillaz-inspired Converse shoes will be able at Converse’s official website and premium retail stores starting February 23. Prepare to shell out $60 for a pair of the awesomeness.
