More than a century ago, suffering from the plight of poverty and harsh living condition, a Sami villager by the name of Erika Aittamaa started to craft hearty mittens from available resources. Her mittens and village, Lovikka, soon became the parable of triumph over hardship and impossible odds. As homage to Aittamaa, Lovikka, and rich heritage of the indigenous Sami people, Stockholm’s Sneakersnstuff (SNS) designed the Lovikka Chuck Taylor All-Star. Worked in conjunction with CONVERSE, the Lovikka All Star took on the exact construct as Aittamaa’s craft, since took on the name Lovikka mittens. Knitted wool in off-white, plus accents in signature colors of red, yellow and blue on midsole, tassles, and SNS initials, the Sneakersnstuff x CONVERSE Lovikka Chuck Taylor All-Star is now available for sale at SNS locations and its online store. Supplies are very limited.
