Poppy’s High Tops
The Despicable Me franchise’s newest villain, Poppy Prescott, was sure to become a fan favorite with her penchant for acrobatic cat burglarly and hip sartorial sense. Given her choice in high top sneakers, we reached out to Converse to make a fashion statement to young girls everywhere.
Working with the team at Converse, we made sure Poppy’s custom Chuck Taylor All Star pair featured a ton of great character bits, from her utility-suit nylon weave, signature “P” on the outsoles, charms modeled after elements from her lair, and the best of all: furry cat burglar laces with grappling hook aglets.
We gifted the first pair of sneakers to the voice of Poppy, Joey King, who really got into their unboxing.
Upon unbuckling Poppy’s utility belt, an intricate pop-up diorama of Poppy’s treehouse sprang to life, leading to an unexpected and very enthusastic tour of this supervillain’s secret lair.
