Converse continues to celebrate its rich heritage. The latest evolution of the 1908 Collection reinterprets iconic Converse designs through a contemporary lens. The newest addition is the 1908 Bronco Boot. It draws on over a century of Converse craftsmanship. The design merges the brand’s boot-making origins with the bold creative direction of Tyler, The Creator.
Tyler’s curatorial guidance leads the 1908 Collection to bridge the past and present. It revives heritage silhouettes such as the Naut-1 and the Jogger. Now, the 1908 Bronco Boot pays tribute to Converse’s early days of utility and craftsmanship. It reimagines these qualities for modern city streets and style-conscious wearers.
The Bronco Boot features a moulded rubber toe with a distinctive diamond texture. It has a split upper design adding depth. A robust lugged outsole offers both confidence and traction. Functional details include round laces, metal hardware, and a faux welt with heavy stitching. These complement the premium materials of leather and suede. The colourways reflect the le FLEUR* palette, offering a refined yet expressive aesthetic.
Infused with the unmistakable DNA of Chuck Taylor, the 1908 Bronco Boot skillfully blends streetwear sensibilities with outdoor influences. Rugged enough for outdoor ventures yet styled for urban environments, it embodies the creative versatility at Converse’s core.
Tebogo Motlamme, Marketing Manager for Converse South Africa, commented: “The 1908 Bronco Boot represents the next wave of Converse innovation. It’s where heritage meets hustle. South African style is fearless and versatile. This silhouette speaks directly to that. It is self-expression that’s grounded and bold. It’s designed for wherever your day takes you.”
The collection debuts in four colourways: Pear Sorbet in premium canvas, and Aspen Green, Emperador, and Black in supple leather. This contemporary take on heritage design is versatile for everyday wear, offering the detailed craftsmanship appreciated by discerning consumers.
The 1908 Bronco Boot has been available since 13 November at converse.com and select retailers across South Africa. Prices range from R2,999.95 to R3,799.95.
