No Problemo and Converse Launch UFO-Inspired Sneaker Collaboration

Aries' sub-label No Problemo has partnered with Converse for its first collaboration, launching July 21, 2026. The collection features low and high-top Chuck 70 sneakers inspired by 1970s science fiction, UFO folklore, and coming-of-age cinema. The low-top has a luminous green stripe; both pairs include 'Believe' and a psychedelic swirl on the tread. Custom details include an alien-head All Star Patch, metal eyelets shaped like the alien logo, and laces imprinted with 'I Want to Believe', referencing The X-Files. The campaign was photographed at Hackney Henge in east London, a stone circle created by artist Paula Haughney in 1990. The shoot depicts a couple in tinfoil hats, referencing conspiracy culture. No Problemo became an independent sub-label in early 2024 under creative director Sofia Prantera, who founded Aries in 2012 with graphic designer Fergus Purcell (creator of the No Problemo logo and Palace's Penrose triangle). The initial launch, 'Area 001', drew on extraterrestrial themes. The collaboration cites films Stand by Me, The Outsiders, and Back to the Future.
