Tyler, the Creator’s fashion empire is expanding with a new Converse collab — and the prolific creative is bringing back kicks from the footwear brand’s archives, too.
The musician puts his Golf Le Fleur spin on two iconic Converse silhouettes: the Naut-1 boating shoe and the athletic Jogger, which both made appearances on the rapper’s feet during his global Chromakopia Tour. Priced from $80 to $100, the reimagined kicks are available online starting today at Golf and Converse‘s websites and both brands’ stores.
The Tyler, the Creator x Converse collection kicks off the shoe company’s new 1908 line of revived archival styles. The ’70s-inspired Jogger ($100) low tops come in Forest Shade (green), Quiet Tide (sky blue) and Tree Bark Brown, and feature a nylon upper with a suede wrap-around heel and wedge outsole. Nodding to Converse’s original 1950s yacht shoes, the Naut-1 cotton canvas style is finished with contrast pinstriping and stitching and comes in Cannoli Cream with embroidered pink flowers, Starlight Blue and Dachshund (brown).
Both of Tyler’s new Converse designs include two pairs of shoelaces — two colors of flat laces for the Jogger and one flat pair and a chunky rope style.

The 1908 range is “a revival of carefully curated archival styles that recognize Converse’s rich history and its profound influence on modern sneaker culture,” per the brand. The iconic footwear company’s most beloved designs include the classic Chuck Taylor All-Star basketball sneakers, which come in low- and high-top styles and platform versions.
Although most of the Jogger colors are now sold out on converse.com, every pair from the collab is fully stocked at golflefleur.com.
The 34-year-old rapper (né Tyler Okonma) is no stranger to remixing heritage fashion brands. Under his Golf Wang and Golf Le Fleur labels, the designer has put his whimsical aesthetic on limited-edition collections for Louis Vuitton, Parachute Home, Lacoste, Vans and others.
