Tyler, The Creator built a work boot for Converse last year, and the 1908 Bronco Boot sold through in all four colorways. The follow-up keeps the hardware and drops the height. This is the Bronco Boot Low, the same silhouette cut down below the ankle, lugged welted sole and rubber toe intact, rebuilt to be worn like a shoe instead of a boot.

It leads the next 1908 drop, and this chapter runs on suede from the first pair to the last.

Cut down, not softened

Nothing about the build got lighter. Up front, a molded rubber toe cap wraps the vamp in stitched channels, duck-boot style, and it sits over a lugged welted outsole. A rubber rand runs above the welt, armoring the seam where boots scrape against curbs and split first. The upper splits suede and leather across its panels, the collar drops below the ankle, and the stance changes with it: less work boot, same tooling, worn lower and easier.

The details stay Tyler’s. The laces are woven, round and custom. A gold le FLEUR* jewel rides the bottom eyelet, the one flash on the whole shoe. Inside, the sockliner carries both names, and the tongue wears the le FLEUR* script where only the wearer sees it.

The tread carries over untouched. Deep lugs ring the edge, a diamond pattern fills the middle, and Converse is stamped into the rubber.

The root is Converse’s own archive. The 1990s Mud Chunk paired a molded rubber vamp with a split upper and an aggressive lugged sole, a sneaker-boot decades before the category had a name, and the Bronco line pulls straight from it. The construction is boot logic, not sneaker logic: a stitched welt joins the upper to the lugged sole, and the stitching runs in a clean ring around the midsole where a cupsole would sit smooth.

Four colorways

Cocoa Brown leads the set, leather from collar to toe over a rubber sole in the same brown, style code A24636C. Eden builds the same shoe in green leather and sets it on a gum-brown sole, A21255C. New Wheat is the suede pair, yellow across the whole upper, A21259C. Black keeps everything black, leather over a black sole, A21256C, the quietest version of a loud shoe.

Two pairs whisper and two don’t. The brown trim and gum rubber underneath tie the bright ones back to the boot.

The tread comes in the upper’s own color on the brown and black pairs and in gum brown on the green and yellow ones.

The program behind it

The 1908 name is Converse’s founding year, and the program hands Tyler the archive to rebuild from. It opened in 2025 with the Naut-1 boat shoe and the Jogger, added the Bronco Boot that fall and the Pro Leather this year, and the partnership underneath it runs back to 2017, when GOLF le FLEUR* first redid the One Star.

The One Star came first, back in 2017, and the Chuck 70 followed it. The archive keys were in Tyler’s hands long before 1908 had a name.

The Pro Leather in suede

Tyler’s Pro Leather keeps every exaggeration from its earlier runs. The toe box runs wide, the eyelet rows are extra-large, the laces are thick, and a star sits embossed into the toe cap.

What changes this time is the finish: suede replaces the smooth leather his earlier pairs wore, across both colorways.

Tendril layers lavender overlays over a gray suede base. Quarry builds on olive suede and finishes with a sky-blue Star Chevron. The shape traces to 1976, when the original Pro Leather took Converse basketball from canvas to leather.

The Jogger, dyed one color at a time

The Jogger closes the drop in two tonal pairs, High Risk Red and Golden Haze, each one dyed a single hue from the laces down through the sole. Shaggy suede overlays wrap the toe, the eyestay and the heel, and sleek nylon panels sit underneath, so the texture does the contrasting that the color doesn’t. It’s the loudest shape in the drop wearing the plainest treatment.

A foam midsole and a sawtooth rubber outsole keep the profile low, GOLF le FLEUR* branding marks both side panels and the sockliner, and a woven Converse label caps the tongue. First released in 1976, the Jogger came back to the Converse lineup in 2025. It was there at the program’s start, one of the two silhouettes that opened 1908 in the summer of 2025.

Out November 12

The Bronco Boot Low is $130. The full drop lands November 12 at 10:00 a.m. EST, at Converse and GOLF le FLEUR* and nowhere else. No prices are published for the Pro Leather or the Jogger pairs yet, and the Low is the pair carrying this drop.

Last year’s boot is the reason this one exists at this price. The full 1908 Bronco Boot launched at $150 in Pear Sorbet, Aspen Green, Emperador and Black. The Low keeps that boot’s tooling and drops the height, and the price drops with it.

Call it what the parts say it is: boot hardware on a shoe’s collar, with nothing above the ankle to break in.
