Tyler, the Creator took a closer look at Converse’s shoe archives, unearthing two styles that he just needed to upgrade.
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’s Archive Manager 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.”
Converse 1908 Naut-1

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.
