Tyler the Creator has just dropped yet another collaboration with Converse, but instead of sneakers, he’s launched a line of boots.
The collaborative 1908 Bronco boot is a unisex vintage-inspired utilitarian style with tons of personality, much like Tyler’s other collaborative silhouettes. The ankle-length style retails for $150 and comes in four colorways: Green, Black, Brown and Pear. You can shop the collection right now at Converse.com or on Tyler’s GOLF le FLEUR* website. The new entry in Tyler’s Converse universe comes just in time, given it is the season for cozy puddle stomping snow-trudging footwear a la a boot.
The 1908 Bronco boot features textural suede uppers that transition into sturdy rubber toe overlays and glistening brass eyelets. The boot also has welted lug outsoles, a non-slip detail that gives the wearer more control with each step. Every pair comes with an interchangeable set of laces, one solid and one two-toned, so you can change up the boot’s look depending on your mood. Every model is also accented by a cursive logo and Le Fleur* branded lace jewels. Even the soles feature Converse x GOLF le FLEUR* branding, an instantly recognizable touch.
We’d recommend snagging up this silhouette while you can. Most, if not all, of Tyler’s collaborations with Converse have sold out within the day, if not the week. The colors of these boots alone drew us in, given there’s really nothing like this on the market. You’ve got basics like brown and black for the less-adventurous and a forest green and yellow-ish cream tone that caters to the trendsetters. The shoe is, as we mentioned, great for winter weather thanks to the sturdy rubber soles.
If you’re wondering, which you probably are, the 1908 in the style’s name makes reference to the year Converse’s was founded. The collection celebrates the timeless Converse legacy, which now includes a multitude of collaborative endeavors with Tyler. The “New Magic Wand” rapper’s collaboration began with the brand following his long standing collaboration with Vans ended.
He moved on to Converse in 2017 with the launch of his Converse One Star “Scum F*ck Flower Boy” model, in reference to his 2017 album Flower Boy. The One Star model was a major hit, leading to a slew of other collaborative models like his Golf le Fleur x Converse One Star and One Star “Mono Collection.” The rapper even launched a collaborative high-top for Pride Month back in 2019, featuring rainbow soles. Tyler’s footwear is inventive and playful, serving as an extension of himself and his music. It’s clear to see why the rapper keeps getting tapped for fashionable endeavors, given his personal style has always been a stand-out.
