Converse go underground

Converse have gone full-on, nitty-gritty street-style in their latest short-film for Forever Chuck jumping on the street bandwagon that is so prevalent in the contemporary fashion industry.  

Additionally, they have called upon some of the most famous young, cult acting talent around town. Games Of Thrones star Maisie Williams makes an appearance alongside Stranger Things phenomenon Millie Bobby Brown as well as an eclectic variety of other icons.

In what is a purposefully disjointed, stop-start short, we are treated to a number of different scenes in disparate environments, all nicely filmed, portraying the à la mode, underground culture of the moment. It’s a stylish piece, not quite perfect, but marks a shift away from the traditional converse model of the last few years. The inclusion of stars such as Williams and Bobby Brown does give it a youth and cult feel, with the music echoing the popularity of the grime genre right now.

Cool from Converse, will be interesting to see what’s next. Also, shout out to the random inclusion of the parrot at the end, a star in the making. Check it out here.
