L.A. designer Dr. Romanelli hasn’t been to an “accredited medical university,” but Chuck Taylor has decided to let the good doctor operate on a pair of limited edition Converse. The sneaker giant has teamed up with Bono’s African AIDS charity (RED) to produce 1HUND(RED)–100 artists to create limited edition kicks to benefit the cause–and Romanelli happens to be #12. The result is a shoe covered with breathable bandages, ghastly skulls on the soles, and some vintage anatomical drawings on the interior. Be the envy of your ER. The hottest guy in the burn ward. The there’s-nothing-really-funny-about-people-in-pain shoe wearing dude. You can find the Dr. Romanelli Converse at Sold Out until they, of course, sell out.
