Converse sneakers with a Nike swoosh?! We thought we’d never see the day, but the good folks over at A Ma Maniére are making it a reality and truth be told, we low-key loving it.
According to Highsnobiety, A Ma Maniére’s remix of the classic Chuck Taylors will be donning the timeless Nike swoosh on their iteration of the sneaker and while their previous Nike and Jordan collaborations didn’t exactly fly off the shelves, we wouldn’t be surprised if these joints are hard to come by should they release.
The revelation of their A Ma Maniére x Chuck Taylors were presented overseas. While we wait for them to officially release, you can almost hear the appetite for these building up amongst hypebeasts.
Per Highsnobiety:
At a dinner in London, it presented guests with the ultimate mash-up shoe: a Converse Chuck Taylor with a Nike swoosh.
America’s two most famous footwear brands collide on one shoe.
It’s by no means a novel concept, others have tried to do it in the past (including Virgil Abloh) but A Ma Maniére becomes the first brand to have done it officially. This isn’t a bootleg, it’s the real thing, presented at a dinner hosted with Converse.
The brand has used a beige-hued canvas Chuck 70 (a more premium, chunky-soled version of the Chuck Taylor) as its base and added a thick black Nike swoosh to the outside — on the inside, the usual Converse branding remains. And an extra piece of Nike branding can be found on the metal lace charm.
These are butter. Just sayin’.
While these are limited to friends and family, we hope Nike pulls the trigger on these because they kinda go hard.

Converse originally introduced their signature basketball shoe in 1917. The design underwent an update in the ’20s after former basketball legend Chuck Taylor approached Converse to make the shoe more comfortable for basketball players. Taylor’s input gave us the iconic design we know today, which typically includes white stitching, a white toe cap and rubber sole.
Trending on Billboard
Chuck Taylors were the hottest shoes on the basketball court until around the 1970s when other shoe brands began introducing sneakers aimed at athletes. Today, Converse Chuck Taylors are beloved for their retro design. The brand has also released special-edition shoes celebrating artists like Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath and Blondie.
