The new Converse One Star Pro City Pack has launched this month drawing its inspirations from four distinctly unique metropolitan environments; London, Paris, Berlin, and Milan.
Across Europe, the One Star’s legacy continues to expand and grow and the new collection launches with community at the heart. To celebrate, Converse has partnered with local creatives and collectives to capture the unique spirit of each city, showcasing the perspectives by locals for locals.
Since it first debuted in 1974, the Converse One Star has been a sneaker of choice for those seeking a different path; a declaration of belonging in skate culture, making it an extension of local identity.
The newest offering builds on the local love for the One Star Pro with details that call out each city, including flocking on the toe bumper and stitching on the heel.
Additionally, a CONS traction rubber outsole offers optimal board feel and impact cushioning while the low-cut design provides freedom of movement. With a sturdy suede upper, the silhouette also helps ensure durability for a long-lasting performance.
Each version of the One Star City Pack is now available to purchase at Converse.com and at select retailers in London, Paris, Berlin, and Milan. To celebrate the new One Star City Pack collection launching.

Clash also caught up with four of the Converse All Stars for a guided tour of their favourite places and a deep dive conversation on how the city has impacted their sensibilities and tastes. We asked them to get their pens out and write a short love letter to the city in their own fair hand.
A LOVE LETTER TO LONDON: TEONI HINDS
To the city that holds my heart
There’s no other place I’d rather stay
You’ve watched me grow with a discerning eye
Into the woman I am today
Home to nations far and wide
Families broke but rich in pride
One love for London town
The place my heart will reside

What made you decide to be a Converse All Star?
I’ve always loved Converse, I used to cry as kid sometimes from seeing them in the shop windows but never having enough money to afford them, I just believe in and love how freeing the all-stars are in their forms of expressions.

A LOVE LETTER TO PARIS – MARIE PREVOT
Dear Paris,
I must confess, between you and me, it’s been a love-hate relationship. I genuinely love how vast and dynamic you are, how you’ve propelled me into the captivating world of fashion, and how my tastes have evolved under your influence. I adore the vibrancy and international flavor you bring to life.
Paris is undeniably stunning, but it’s also demanding, fast-paced, and challenging. The real Paris is not a fairytale; it requires constant effort and determination.
Yours sincerely,

What made you decide to be a Converse All Star?
It was a complete surprise when I was approached by a friend of a close friend. He explained the project to me during a birthday celebration, and I found myself deeply interested in all the future events and opportunities it held. Subsequently, I received an invitation to the Converse Showroom to delve further into the proposal. I believe this opportunity is a means for me to expand my horizons and develop myself through valuable connections and engaging projects in the realms of music, art, and fashion—subjects that I hold close to my heart.

A LOVE LETTER TO BERLIN: MARINA MONACO
Dear Berlin,
It’s a bit crazy to think about how everything in my life has changed since the first time I visited the city 5 years ago. I still remember the feeling.
There was nostalgia. Lots of it. The old train stations, the second hand furniture, the underground club culture. The music in a foreign language that I could hardly understand but I still felt so connected. Art of all different shapes and colours from every part of the world. A city that you experience when you connect with its history. A hidden world. I remember the freedom and the blue hours.
Every corner lost-in-time inspired me like no other. Somehow, I knew that a part of me belonged here. And fortunately, I was not wrong. It still feels like a dream. I hope I can capture it before this feeling goes away.
Much love,
Marina

What made you decide to be a Converse All Star?
I wanted to open up my circle of creative people from different disciplines, which is sometimes difficult. I also liked the way they support emerging artists, something you don’t see that often with brands. Converse has built a huge community around the world, we are all connected.

A LOVE LETTER TO MILAN: ENRIQUE MIGLIORINI
This letter is to the city of opportunities.
The city of parties & fun, the city of fashion and culture; Milan.
I’d like the younger generations that follow us to understand the incredible potential of our city.
To realise how lucky we are to live in a place that is so rich with art.
We should represent it proudly, standing up for our ideals at all times no matter what life throws at us.
Milan has so much potential to be even more incredible than it already is.
Let’s realise that full potential together.
