Converse 1908 Bronco Boot Ushers In the Next Chapter of the 1908 Collection
Converse continues to honour its rich heritage with the next evolution of the 1908 Collection — a series dedicated to reimagining iconic silhouettes through a contemporary lens. The latest arrival, the 1908 Bronco Boot, fuses more than a century of Converse craftsmanship with the creative vision of Tyler, The Creator, delivering a modern boot that champions versatility and style.
First introduced under Tyler’s curatorial direction, the 1908 Collection revitalises Converse’s archival designs, including favourites like the Naut-1 and the Jogger. With the launch of the 1908 Bronco Boot, Converse revisits its origins in utility and durability, reinterpreted for today’s creators who demand both function and flair.
The 1908 Bronco Boot stands out with its moulded rubber toe featuring a bold diamond texture, a split upper for added dimension, and a lugged outsole built for traction and confidence. Every design element is purposeful — from the round laces and metal hardware to the heavy-stitched faux welt — ensuring durability without compromising on style. Crafted from premium leather and suede, the boot’s colourways draw from the refined le FLEUR* palette, adding expressive depth to its rugged construction.
Infused with unmistakable Chuck Taylor DNA, the Bronco Boot bridges outdoor influence and streetwear attitude. Rugged enough for exploration yet sleek enough for urban fashion, it embodies Converse’s commitment to creative versatility.
“The 1908 Bronco Boot represents the next wave of Converse innovation; it’s where heritage meets hustle. South African style is fearless and versatile, and this silhouette speaks directly to that — it’s about self-expression that’s grounded, bold, and built for wherever the day takes you.”
Tebogo Motlamme, Marketing Manager at Converse SA, highlights its cultural alignment:
The debut lineup includes four striking colourways: Pear Sorbet in premium canvas, and Aspen Green, Emperador, and Black in supple leather. The result is a contemporary yet heritage-driven design that appeals to everyday wearers and craftsmanship enthusiasts alike.
The Converse 1908 Bronco Boot lands on 13 November at converse.com and select South African retailers, priced from R2999,95 to R3799,95 — ushering in a fresh chapter of style, legacy, and innovation.
