90s Kids, Assemble! Converse Has Just Dropped A Collaboration With Transformers

Celebrating 40 years of epic battles between Autobots and Decepticons, this cool new collaboration with Converse is every Transformers fan's dream.
Remember those Saturday mornings in the '90s? Curled up on the sofa, cereal bowl in hand, watching Transformers reruns like your life depended on it. The Autobots, the Decepticons, and that iconic theme song—pure childhood nostalgia. Then, in the 2000s, along came the epic Michael Bay Transformers films with explosions galore, Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox running for their lives, and a soundtrack by Linkin Park that was nothing short of legendary. The thing is, Transformers has managed to capture the hearts of kids (and let’s be honest, adults) in every era since its debut in 1984.
Fast forward to today, and you’ve still got kids losing their minds when they spot a street performer dressed as Bumblebee and queuing round the block for the rides at Universal Studios. That’s why the new Converse x Transformers collection, celebrating 40 years of robotic brilliance, is a sneaker drop that will get everyone excited. Think of it as a love letter to every generation of Transformers fans.
Converse's most iconic design - the Chuck Taylor All Stars - have been, dare we say, transformed with the spirit of these iconic robots and it's enough to make your inner child smile. The cult shoe has been split into Autobots (recognisable in the red and black) and Decepticons (a rather futuristic silver). But it doesn’t stop there. With the array of customisable Chuck Taylors, you can craft your very own tribute to Optimus Prime, Megatron, or whichever Transformer hero powered your daydreams as a kid with a one-of-a-kind creation featuring graphics and colours from the original series.
And for the sneakerheads looking for something truly unique? There’s the limited-edition All Star BB Shift CX design, blending cutting-edge basketball tech with a nod to Bumblebee. Sizes range from grown-up all the way down to toddler, so you and your mini-me can rock matching kicks. For the superfans, you can even pick up hoodies and tees to complete your look.
