Converse’s “¡Mi Gente!” Collection Celebrates Latinx Artistry

“Mi Gente for me starts first at home. That's the first thing that comes to my mind, I feel at home with not just my family, but I feel like Mi Gente, is people that make you feel warm and at home regardless of whether you know them or not. So, I really like that sense of togetherness that our culture has,” Mora said about the inspiration behind her design, which draws mainly from Chicanx culture and her personal relationship with graffiti.

Perez, on the other hand, took a more narrative approach, centering his design around a young “soñador” on a bike. “He's surrounded by a lot of icons, but there’s a twist in the urban setting by adding a Nepal cactus and a snake and elements from my community. And I think it's just saying, right now, if you put yourself in a little kid’s shoes – they want to have dreams.

Together with the collection’s release, Converse also announced it would be partnering with organizations such as
