Converse x Tyler, The Creator 1908 Jogger Releases April 7
Converse and Tyler, The Creator extend their collaborative reach into the brand's archival past with a refreshed take on the 1908 Jogger, a dormant 1970s running silhouette reimagined through four complementary two-toned palettes. The collection arrives April 7 at Converse and select retail partners.

The partnership between Converse and Tyler, The Creator continues to dig deeper into the Americana-rooted catalog, this time extracting the 1908 Jogger—a running model originally conceived decades ago but rarely circulated in contemporary sneaker discourse. Rather than a straightforward retro reissue, the collaboration applies a studied approach to colorway composition, presenting four distinct two-toned executions that balance complementary and contrasting hues.
The four colorway offerings span Green Glow paired with Nutria, Foggy Dew contrasted against Mirage Gray, Yarrow layered with Plume, and Cameo Blue set beside Deep Dive. Each combination treats the upper and lower sections as separate chromatic zones, a design strategy that elevates what might otherwise be a straightforward heritage release into something with deliberate visual proportion and depth.
The 1908 Jogger itself represents an understated entry point into Converse's deeper silhouette lineage—neither the iconic Chuck Taylor nor the contemporary CTAS platform, but rather a functional running shoe from an era when the brand operated across multiple categories beyond basketball. By bringing it forward in 2024 through a collaborator of Tyler's cultural weight, Converse signals continued interest in mining its archives for overlooked models capable of gaining contemporary relevance.
