Tyler Just Launched His Most Extreme Converse Shoe Yet

When Tyler, the Creator started working with Converse on his Golf le Fleur collection in 2017, he was mostly reworking the brand’s classic One Star silhouette—while adding his now-signature flower logo and rendering the sneaker in suede pastels, whether it be soft pink, baby blue, or a dusty lilac.

Now, though, Tyler’s announced a new Golf le Fleur design that is his most extreme yet: meet Gianno, the new super chunky, hiking boot-inspired sneaker that serves as his first completely original design for the brand. The shoe, which also takes inspiration from Converse’s vast archive of basketball sneakers, comes in a few different colourways.

There’s a rusty brown, accented by a Klein blue, and one in light cream with hints of sea foam green. You can just as easily imagine Tyler hiking up a mountain in Giannos (thanks to their geometric tread), as you can envision one of his skater friends wearing them with a pair of baggy jeans. Leave it to Tyler to create a shoe that unites two distinct worlds.
