The Grammy-winning rapper and style chameleon has long been one of Converse’s most important collaborators and his latest collection, dropping July 16, shows exactly why. The Tyler, the Creator x Converse 1908 Collection Summer 2026 consists of four pairs with two silhouettes — the classic Pro Leather and the retro-running 1908 Jogger. The styles share clean, minimal palettes and an emphasis on quality leather construction.
The Pro Leather pairs, built on the basketball shoe silhouette that has long been a cultural touchstone, come in two colourways — a white upper with green accents and the reverse green with white. The 1908 Jogger is a low-profile runner that nods to the current trend for streamlined footwear. It comes in black leather with white detailing and an all-white leather version with baby blue branding and off-white laces. Both Jogger colourways keep the finish as clean and unfussy as possible, letting the leather speak for itself.
The collection is a reminder of something we champion every day. The leather in these designs was chosen for its look, its texture and the way it ages, qualities that no synthetic material can match. These are shoes built for the long haul.
The full collection releases on July 16 through Converse and select retailers. The Pro Leather pairs retail at $95 and the 1908 Joggers at $115.
