Converse continues to celebrate its deep heritage with the next evolution of the 1908 Collection, a series that reinterprets Converse icons through a modern lens. The latest drop, the 1908 Bronco Boot, channels over a century of Converse craftsmanship, blending the brand’s historic boot making roots with the bold creativity of Tyler, The Creator.
First introduced under Tyler’s curatorial direction, the 1908 Collection bridges past and present, reviving heritage silhouettes like the Naut-1 and the Jogger. Now, with the 1908 Bronco Boot, Converse pays homage to its early days of utility and craftsmanship, reimagined for today’s streets and style-conscious creators.
The 1908 Bronco Boot features a moulded rubber toe with a distinctive diamond texture, a split upper for added dimension, and a bold lugged outsole for confidence and traction. Every detail is refined and functional, from its round laces and metal hardware to its faux welt with heavy stitching. Premium materials such as leather and suede add depth and durability, while colourways drawn from the le FLEUR* palette deliver a refined, expressive aesthetic.
Infused with unmistakable Chuck Taylor DNA, the 1908 Bronco Boot redefines what it means to merge streetwear and outdoor influence. It’s rugged enough for the trail but styled for the city, truly embodying the creative versatility at the heart of Converse.
Tebogo Motlamme, Marketing Manager Converse SA 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, and this silhouette speaks directly to that, it’s about self-expression that’s grounded, bold, and built for wherever the day takes you.”
Four debut colourways anchor the collection: Pear Sorbet in premium canvas, and Aspen Green, Emperador, and Black in supple leather. The result is a contemporary take on a heritage design, versatile enough for everyday wear but detailed enough for those who appreciate craftsmanship.
The 1908 Bronco Boot will be available from 13 November at converse.com, and select retailers across South Africa starting from R2999,95 – R3799,95.
