All profits from the collection will go to her Happy Hippie Foundation, which supports LGBT community.

AceShowbiz - Miley Cyrus has teamed up with Converse bosses to create a new collection of Gay Pride inspired kicks to benefit her Happy Hippie Foundation.

The pop star launched the non-profit in 2014 to combat youth homelessness and support the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community, and now she is using her ambassadorship for the classic footwear brand to raise money for her charity as part of Gay Pride Month (June).

"@HappyHippiefdn and I support being yourself everyday, and Pride is an extra special time to celebrate acceptance and love," she wrote in an announcement on Twitter on Tuesday, June 05. "I teamed up with Converse for this Pride collection to share that spirit of community and equality!"

"All net proceeds of the Converse Pride collection will support our LGBTQ+ youth community partners globally!," she added, revealing the new line will be called #ConversePride.

The We Can't Stop hitmaker has classic Chuck Taylor high-tops decked out with rainbow studs, another pair with rainbow polka dots and one white canvas sneaker with a raised rainbow platform, as well as black low-tops selling online from $65 (£48) to $95 (£71) apiece.

A limited edition of clothing and accessories, including a tracksuit, T-shirts and caps, are also available in the Converse Pride x Miley Cyrus collection.

Miley kicked off her partnership with the footwear brand in May, releasing her line of glittery, gender-bending wares with her diverse fans in mind.

"I definitely had my fans in mind and in my heart when I was creating," she shared in a press release. "I put what they love about me and what I love about them into the design. No age, no gender, no sex - I wanted everyone to feel included."
