Converse is bringing the mischievous world of Illumination’s Minions & Monsters to life with a limited-edition collection of footwear, apparel and customisable designs inspired by the world’s favourite yellow troublemakers.
Launching in South Africa on 25 June 2026, the Converse x Minions collection celebrates the humour, creativity and playful chaos of the latest chapter in the globally successful animated franchise. Designed for fans of all ages, the collection combines iconic Converse silhouettes with unmistakable Minions-inspired details.
Leading the range is the Chuck 70, featuring premium denim construction, an exterior ankle pocket and exclusive co-branded detailing that gives the classic sneaker a fresh new look.
The Chuck Taylor All Star embraces the Minions’ fun-loving personality with bold character graphics, playful stitching, colourful eyelets and a vibrant yellow outsole inspired by the franchise’s iconic stars.
Young fans haven’t been forgotten either. The Chuck Taylor All Star Easy-On has been designed with convenience in mind, featuring an adjustable Minions-inspired eye strap alongside colourful design elements that make getting dressed even more fun.
The collection also includes a capsule apparel range comprising two graphic T-shirts and a hoodie, all showcasing bold artwork inspired by the beloved animated characters.
For those looking to create something uniquely their own, Converse By You allows fans to personalise their favourite Converse silhouette using a selection of Minions-inspired colours, prints, laces and design accents.
The collaboration coincides with the release of Illumination’s Minions & Monsters, which opens in cinemas on 26 June 2026. The latest film introduces audiences to a brand-new adventure featuring Minions James and Henry alongside the franchise’s familiar cast of lovable troublemakers.
Capturing the same playful energy as the film, the Converse x Minions collection celebrates creativity, humour and self-expression through designs that embrace the joyful spirit of the Minions.
The Converse x Minions collection will be available from 25 June 2026 at Converse South Africa and selected retailers nationwide, with prices ranging from R899.95 to R1,999.95.
