Converse is at it again. Recently, the legacy shoe retailer launched its new archival-focused collection Converse 1908 in partnership with Tyler, the Creator's brand Golf le Fleur. The collection came to life at an L.A. pop-up on June 20, and now, the shoes are available to shop worldwide at Converse and Golf le Fleur*.
The debut designs of Converse's 1908 collection (the Naut-1 and the Jogger) were handpicked by Tyler himself for the launch. During a prelaunch media roundtable, he provided some insight into his selection of the two styles from the archive.
"I honestly hate the idea of nostalgia and … things [always] having such a deeper meaning. It was more like I went through the archives … and I was just like, 'Bro, these shoes are just cool. … I just wanna run [with] these and wear them and make [awesome] colorways.' And they had so many other silhouettes that [were] like that. It was like, 'Bro, what [are] we doing? We need to get these out in the world,'" he explains.
The 1908 collection strives to shine a light on Converse's role in shaping sneaker culture and inspiring style experimentation for many decades. "There's something powerful about 1908 because these designs have truly stood the test of time. The Naut-1 and Jogger weren't just products—they were turning points in how people expressed themselves through sneakers. Their reintroduction is a reminder that Converse has been shaping sneaker culture for over a century," states Sam Smallidge, Converse's archive manager.
While the Jogger and Naut-1 styles are already selling out on Converse.com, the styles are fully stocked in all sizes on GolfleFleur.com. Keep scrolling to shop these debut styles from the 1908 collection.
