This collection expands beyond previously seen designs inspired by Naruto, Sasuke and Gaara, with the confirmation of a Kakashi-themed iteration joining the lineup.
The Kakashi-inspired sneaker takes on the classic high-top silhouette, rendered in a color palette of 'Barely Grey' and 'Dark Water.' These shades directly echo the enigmatic sensei's signature appearance and attire. A distinctive pair of Velcro strap fasteners is implemented over the traditional shoelaces, adding a unique design element. Furthermore, a red motif embroidery and a Kitsune mask charm serve as direct nods to Kakashi's past affiliations with the ANBU Black Ops.
The collection also spotlights the Converse Weapon, reimagining the '80s court classic with design cues inspired by Itachi Uchiha. This particular shoe features a unique jacquard underlay, carefully mirroring the distinctive pattern of Itachi's iconic cloak.
In addition to these character-specific footwear styles, fans will have the opportunity to further personalize their sneakers through Converse By You. This digital customization experience will allow users to craft their own unique designs, with options including the shoe's canvas color, tongue print liner, toe cap, license plate, and a variety of graphic prints directly inspired by theNaruto Shippudenanime.
Original Story (April 15, 2025):Converse is teaming up withNaruto Shippudenfor a special sneaker collection: theNarutoxConverse Chuck TaylorPack, honoring three beloved characters – Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha and Gaara.
Each Chuck Taylor is uniquely designed to reflect the essence of its character. Naruto's pair features his signature orange color with black laces and the iconic Eight Sign Seal from his abdomen. Sasuke's version sports a clean white upper with purple rope-style laces, inspired by his outfit during the Orochimaru arc. It's accented with the Cursed Seal of Heaven and a blue heel stripe for added detail. Gaara's design stands out in deep red, featuring the kanji for 'love' stitched on the collar and a cracked sole texture representing his sand-based powers.
Instead of the classic Converse patch, each shoe includes a 3D metallic shuriken badge. The heel plates are also specially customized to resemble each character's forehead protector – Naruto's Hidden Leaf, Sasuke's scratched-out Leaf and Gaara's Hidden Sand symbol.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A couple has gone viral for adding a McDonalds-themed twist to their recent wedding—and their guest loved it. Emily Zimmerman, from Chicago, recently married her now-husband, DJ, in Green Lake, Wisconsin. Near the end of the night, they wanted to give their guests an energy boost after hours of dancing and socializing. And Zimmerman, who works in marketing for McDonald's corporate, knew exactly what food would do the job. "Because I work for McDonald's corporate I always knew I wanted to have it as a late night snack," she told Newsweek, adding that "all of our friends encouraged us, too." Emily Zimmerman and her husband, DJ, celebrate their wedding with a McDonald's buffet at the end of the night.

TikTok @emilyayay17 Zimmerman shared a snippet of her big day to her TikTok account @emilyayay17 on May 31, showing the McDonald's buffet set-up, with a sign declaring Mr and Mrs—in the iconic golden arches typeset. On offer were cheeseburgers, nuggets and fries, complete with sachets of sauce—and all available to be packed into specially designed Happy Meal boxes. Late-night snacks, after the dinner and cutting of the cake, is an option some couples choose to start winding down the night. Wedding websiteThe Knot suggest doling out sweet treats or fried snacks, or even hiring a food truck to cater to guests. In the video, Zimmerman tucked into a burger while wearing her sparkling white wedding gown. And, adding to the theme, the couple posed outside a local restaurant which had set up a sign declaring "Congratulations Emily and DJ." "I worked with the local franchisee and he surprised us the weekend of our wedding by putting our names on the McDonald's road signs," she told Newsweek. "So we stopped there after the church to take a picture with the sign. So kind of him!" While it's unclear how much the spread cost, Zimmerman said it was a huge hit with her guests, adding they "loved it." "It was by far one of the most complimented things at our wedding. We actually had a fireworks display on the lake, and when our guests went back inside, McDonald's was waiting for them!" Zimmerman said.

Zimmerman said she's noticed "a huge trend" in weddings to "do a late-night snack of some sort. "I've been to weddings that serve pizza, or tacos, etc and for us, we felt it was only right to do McDonald's," she said, adding: "Because who doesn't love some McDonald's after a late night out?"
