Converse launches Naruto Shippuden trainer and apparel collection

Converse has released a new collection in partnership with Naruto Shippuden across its website and selected retailers.

The line features seven pairs of trainers, including Chuck Taylor and Weapon models, each designed to reflect key characters from the anime series such as Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara, Kakashi and Itachi.

The designs include embroidered symbols, character-inspired colour schemes, and graphic details.

The Naruto Shippuden x Converse Chuck Taylor for Naruto comes in orange and black with off-white accents, referencing the main character’s look.

The Sasuke version features layered panels and a Fossil/Altitude Lilac colourway, while the Gaara edition uses red and cream, with details inspired by Gaara’s sand gourd and armour.

The Kakashi trainer uses a grey upper, blue accents and a shuriken detail on the Converse logo.

The Weapon Itachi, the only non-Chuck Taylor in the range, has a dark upper, red cloud collar and a red Chevron Star, highlighting the character’s dual identity.

Converse has also launched a capsule of Naruto-inspired apparel including jackets, t-shirts and backpacks.

Fans can customise their own Naruto-themed trainers through the Converse By You service, with a selection of colours and graphics.

The collection is available now through Converse and select retailers.
