Paying homage to the cultural zeitgeist of the past and present, the 1908 collection centers around two shoe silhouettes — the Naut-1 and Coach Jogger. Both footwear silhouettes marry both old and new, keeping true to their original models, but with a Tyler twist.
Converse launched the unisex collection Friday (June 20). Each shoe is a limited edition, retailing from $80 to $100 depending on the model and colorway. Speaking of colorways, the athletic Coach Jogger comes in three distinctive ones, while the Naut-1, a quintessential boat shoe, boasts three different designs entirely, from florals to monochrome hues.
To celebrate this historic launch, we're going to be highlighting some of our favorite styles from the collection that you can shop now, while supplies last.

A low-top unisex sporty sneaker in bright green hues.
The redesigned Jogger is an effortless, sporty silhouette with a playful color application that makes the shoe pop. This one's for the runners. Built for both performance and casual wear, this style features a mix of suede and nylon uppers, accompanied by a wrap-around heel and wedge outsole construction that imparts a retro vibe.
You've also got two sets of laces for each colorway, offering the wearer endless styling possibilities. To finish off the model, GOLF le FLEUR* branding can be spotted subtly on the uppers as a nod to the rapper's brand. While our favorite colorway of the revamped Jogger is the Forest Shade/Green, the sneaker also comes in pastel Quiet Tide/Starlight Blue and neutral light brown Bistre/Dijon/Star White.
'There's something powerful about 1908 because these designs have truly stood the test of time,' Converse Archivist Sam Smallidge said in a press release. 'The Naut-1 and Jogger weren't just products — they were turning points in how people expressed themselves through sneakers. Their reintroduction is a reminder that Converse has been shaping sneaker culture for over a century through bold design and enduring self-expression. The Converse Archive captures that legacy in every detail.'

A cream-colored low-top unisex sneaker with floral detailing.
The Naut-1 is a classic example of a boat shoe. Minimalist in composition and chock-full of nautical touches. The sneaker features sturdy canvas uppers and ivory laces that transition into non-slip rubber soles with a cushioned finish. GOLF le FLEUR* branding can also be seen throughout.
Our favorite model of the three available is the Cannoli Cream/Stone Green colorway, which is speckled with embroidered florals in pink and green hues that give major Flower Boy vibes. The green trim offers contrast. The Naut-1 also comes in Dachshund/Afterglow, a monochrome brown, and Starlight Blue/Turkish Tile, a light blue monochrome.

The 'New Magic Wand' rapper has collaborated with the footwear brand on numerous occasions, tapping GOLF le FLEUR*, his own brand, as a sort of muse. Tyler began working with them in 2017. His collaborative sneakers are often retro-inspired and incorporate pastel colorways and floral motifs. In the past, the musician has reworked popular Converse silhouettes such as the Chuck Taylor and One Stars.

Jana Kramer faces 'a lot of pressure' to provide for her family
Jana Kramer has accepted jobs that challenge her "moral compass". The 41-year-old star has to pay child support cheques to ex-husband Mike Caussin, and Jana admits that financial pressures have influenced some of her career decisions. Jana - who has Jolie, nine, and Jace, six, with Mike, as well as Roman, 19 months, with current husband Allan Russell - told Fox News Digital: "There's definitely some things, some ads that I'm like, 'Oh, I wish I could have gone back and maybe not done that ad,' but you know, you learn and you go back and you go, 'All right, I'm not gonna do that one again,' you know? "So sometimes when you gotta pay that child support cheque, it's just like, 'Well, this is a good cheque money. I'm gonna take this.'" Asked if she was referring to a commercial in which she promoted a sex toy, Jana replied: "It's OK, honestly it is what it is. "I'm not gonna do it again, like you know what I mean? Like I'm like, OK, I'm good now, like, you know? Like we're good, we're levelling up to a different [place], you know?" Jana has occasionally comprised her values because she needs to provide for her family. She said: "I am a sole provider, where I have a lot of pressure on my shoulders to provide for my kids. And so I think that piece of it sometimes outweighs my moral compass." Jana is best known for playing Alex Dupre on One Tree Hill. And the actress - who starred on the TV show between 2009 and 2012 - previously revealed that she's eager to star in a reboot. She told TooFab in 2024: "I definitely talked to Sophia [Bush, her former co-star] about it and it's one of those things where she's kind of getting a temperature check on who would come back." Jana is a fan of reboots and she's keen to see what the show's characters are up to now. She shared: "I love when shows get rebooted and they bring back old characters because I like to see what they're up to. "I understand if they don't. I understand why some actors don't want to come back to a show that's been done, and they have closed that chapter. But for the viewers and the fans, I want to know what they're up to, what they're doing."
