Who Dat Boy With A Converse Collab? Tyler, the Creator Has New Kicks On the Way

If you’re a Tyler, the Creator fan—you probably have two upcoming dates this month marked in your calendar. And if not, open your planning app now cause time is ticking..literally.

A week before Scum F-ck Flower Boy’s debut, Tyler has another countdown with 00:00:00 approaching fast. The Odd Future member switched up his sneaker style and partnered with Nike Converse. His special One Stars kicks hit stores on July 13 and supplies are limited.

Converse introduced the collab with a video framed exactly how you’d expect a Tyler, the Creator announcement to go. He’s asked. “How would you describe your relationship with Converse?” And followed by a montage of wild antics creative ways to test the durability of sneakers, he replies “I don’t recall.’

A majority of his ventures into fashion have been colorful and whimsical. His go-to seems to achieve a striking contrast. And although the rapper is swapping Vans for Converses, he still brings the same vibrant makeup from the personality and taste conveyed in past sneakers. Tyler revealed on Twitter that the inspiration for the Converse collab come from the picks for the Flower Boy album cover.

So far, Converse One Star x Tyler, the Creator comes in a Clearwater/White a scheme of orange laces, light blue suede, and a white sole and star. The insole’s graphics are full of bright, yellow sunflowers. However, the promo video features more sneakers. Tyler referenced one sneaker with white laces and a light blue suede upper on Twitter as a favorite.

The limited-edition unisex One Star goes for $100.
