The new collaboration between Coca-Cola and Converse revives the aesthetic of 1950s America—drive-ins, neon signs, and milkshakes. A full-on return to the past and an operation that draws deeply from the American imaginary, the most iconic and pop one, where a red can and a white canvas sneaker tell more than a century of visual culture.

The Coca-Cola x Converse Collection brings four different “flavors” to Converse’s most famous silhouette: the red and white of the original can, a metallic silver that nods to Diet Coke, a black with red details for Coke Zero fans, and an icy white that recalls the polar bears from winter campaigns. On each pair, the logo stripe runs across the canvas upper; Coca-Cola branding hides on the tongue, the insole, and the left heel badge, while Converse retains the classic All Star patch.
The option to customize your own pair via the By You program is also present—a modern homage to the “Share a Coke” campaign—inviting you to make the sneaker something unique, as if everyone could sign their own version of the myth.
The collection will be available from October 9, 2025 on Converse and at a selection of retailers, priced at $110 per pair, in unisex sizing. The By You program release will instead arrive in November, closing out the year with a touch of made-to-measure nostalgia.
In an increasingly crowded landscape of collaborations, this one works because it doesn’t force the pairing—it lets it flow. Coca-Cola and Converse speak the same language: that of heritage, recognizable symbols, and simplicity that becomes icon. It’s a return to the past that sits perfectly in the present, like a faded photograph that suddenly comes back in color.
