Converse And Tyler The Creator Unite For 1908 Program

Converse and Tyler, The Creator unite to revive archival icons through the 1908 Program, spotlighting two heritage styles: the Naut-1 boat shoe and the Coach Jogger. Both models draw directly from Converse’s legendary Archive—an ever-evolving collection of prototypes and production samples that have shaped sneaker culture, fashion, music, art, and sport since the brand’s founding in 1908.

The Naut-1 reinterprets Converse’s rugged nautical roots. Its heavy-duty canvas upper, reinforced stitching, and classic boat-shoe construction capture the utilitarian spirit of the original, while updated materials and modern sizing ensure a contemporary fit and feel.

The Coach Jogger channels mid-century athletic design with a streamlined profile. Combining a lightweight mesh base, suede overlays, and a cushioned rubber midsole, it delivers the low-profile comfort and performance—true to Converse’s influence on 1970s and ’80s training sneakers.

Each pair carries subtle co-branding, reflecting Tyler’s deliberate curation and Converse’s Archive heritage. These limited-edition releases will drop globally on June 20 via Converse.com and select stockists, with an exclusive early access pop-up in Los Angeles starting June 12.

For Link Up TV viewers seeking authentic sneaker history and fresh takes, the 1908 Program demonstrates how Converse’s century-long legacy continues to inspire boundary-pushing design. Whether you’re drawn to the sea-ready resilience of the Naut-1 or the retro athleticism of the Coach Jogger, these archival revivals blend timeless storytelling with modern wearability—proof that Converse’s creative spirit is as vital today as it was in 1908.
