The Converse WADE apparel line includes a completely integrated collection of athletic and casual sportswear including T-shirts, performance shorts, fleeces, warm-ups, shooting shirts, track jackets, hats and bags.
All products will be available March 3. The Converse WADE 2.0 will retail for MSRP at $100 and the WADE apparel line prices range from $25-$85. Both are available at Footlocker, Finish Line, Footaction, Champs, select independent retailers and online at www.converse.com.
