With Pride month rapidly approaching, brands everywhere are beginning to introduce LGBTQ-related products. However, Converse just took a big step in a new direction with their just-revealed Pride collection.

In addition to creating shoes that sport the LGBTQ rainbow, the shoe company also launched a series of models designed after the transgender flag.

According to Mashable, the trans-specific shoes retail for $80. However, buyers can also customize the other LGBTQ shoes to add trans flair.

Additionally, the footwear company launched a series of pride shoes for children, so little ones can also visibly support the LGBTQ community. You can check out the full line here.
