Converse continues to honour its roots while shaping the future with the next chapter of its 1908 Collection — a series that reimagines classic Converse silhouettes through a fresh, modern perspective. The newest addition, the 1908 Bronco Boot, draws on more than a century of craftsmanship, blending the brand’s early boot-making legacy with the inventive spirit of Tyler, The Creator.
Launched under Tyler’s curatorial eye, the 1908 Collection has been all about bridging eras, bringing back archival gems like the Naut-1 and the Jogger. Now, the Bronco Boot steps in as a tribute to Converse’s utilitarian beginnings, reworked for today’s style makers and city explorers.

The 1908 Bronco Boot arrives with a strong visual identity: a moulded rubber toe stamped with a diamond texture, a split upper that adds dimensional flair, and a rugged lugged outsole designed for steady traction. Functional details elevate the design even further, including round laces, metal hardware, and a faux welt lined with heavy stitching. The mix of premium leather and suede enhances durability and depth, while colour options inspired by the le FLEUR* palette offer a refined, expressive finish.
With unmistakable Chuck Taylor DNA at its core, the Bronco Boot strikes the perfect balance between streetwear edge and outdoor readiness. It’s tough enough to handle the trail, yet polished enough for everyday city life — a true reflection of Converse’s creative versatility.

Tebogo Motlamme, Marketing Manager for Converse South Africa, puts it best: “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.”
The debut range lands in four colourways: Pear Sorbet crafted in premium canvas, and Aspen Green, Emperador, and Black in rich leather. Each one delivers a modern twist on a heritage-driven design, created for those who value both style and craftsmanship.
The Converse 1908 Bronco Boot will be available from 13 November on converse.com and at selected retailers across South Africa, priced from R2 999,95 to R3 799,95.
