From the ‘1908’ collection.

After having dyed his footwear proposal in pastel colours with GOLF le FLEUR*, the acclaimed creative joins forces once again with Converse to offer a collection as nostalgic as it is futuristic. Under the name ‘1908’ – a direct nod to the year in which Marquis Mills‘ company was founded – some archival pieces are banished, now reinterpreted under Tyler‘s refinedly eccentric stamp.

And the star silhouettes are none other than the Naut-1 and the Coach Jogger. Two names that sound like pure heritage but are now conceived as real objects of desire for the new generations. The first option, initially conceived from a lifestyle point of view and inspired directly by the nautical world, has been revived with a preppy aesthetic that is very much in keeping with the times. The Coach Jogger, on the other hand, was introduced in 1976 as an athletic shoe for the Olympic Games, and is now back with that irresistible retro running spirit.

The limited edition collection will be available from 20 June at converse.com.
