Converse is shaking things up with the launch of the Run Star Trainer, a bold new silhouette that blends the brand’s rich sporting heritage with modern, street-ready style. This low-profile shoe isn’t your average Converse offering. It’s a testament to the brand’s commitment to innovation and its ability to reimagine its past.
Forget the usual suspects. The Run Star Trainer draws inspiration from a surprising array of nearly 20 Converse heritage silhouettes originally designed for a wide range of sports – from the familiar like karate and fencing, to the unexpected like wrestling, soccer, and even the steeplechase. This deep dive into Converse’s athletic past results in a unique design that pays homage to the brand’s sporting legacy. It’s a hidden history brought to life in a fresh, contemporary way.
The Run Star Trainer isn’t simply a trip down memory lane. It takes those archival elements and modernizes them for today’s wearer. The design team didn’t limit themselves to just sporting influences; they also drew inspiration from modern artistic expressions across various mediums, including pottery. The result is a shoe that’s both innovative and versatile.
One of the most striking features of the Run Star Trainer is its exaggerated outsole. It takes cues from the iconic Chuck Taylor All Star tread pattern, but extends it for a bolder look. The sculpted heel adds a touch of sophistication, while the Star logo, reminiscent of the Run Star Hike from 2019, ties everything together.
The Run Star Trainer isn’t just about looks; it’s also built to last. The combination of premium materials like nylon, suede,and leather creates a rich upper with a beautiful texture. This material mix ensures both comfort and durability, making the shoe ideal for everyday wear.
With its unique blend of sport, art, and modern style, the Run Star Trainer truly embodies the spirit of Mzansi. It’s a shoe for those who embrace their individuality and express themselves through fashion, music, dance, and sports.
The Converse Run Star Trainer is available now in Converse stores nationwide and online at Converse.com. With a starting price of only R1,599, it’s an accessible way to add a touch of Converse history and modern innovation to your wardrobe.
