Converse pays tribute to skate culture in 'We Create Next' collection

Converse' s origins in skateboard culture go back almost 75 years to the early days of the sport. 'Regular' Converse shoes soon became popular in skate and street culture, which led to the creation of Converse CONS. To this day, the brand remains true to celebrating the self-expression of skateboarding, both on and off the board.

Converse CONS

Converse believes skateboarding is a breeding ground for creativity. It is a place where people can think differently, embrace diversity, push boundaries and produce new ideas. This skate mentality inspires the brand's latest campaign, "We Create Next". For this campaign, Converse is once again bringing together emerging and established talent from around the world.

In the 1990s, shoes like the One Star and the low-top All Star were already immensely popular among skaters. So, in 2009, Converse decided to capitalise on this popularity with CONS by releasing sturdier, skate-ready versions of existing models and launching its own skate team.
