Converse has officially announced its latest collaboration: the Naruto Shippuden x Converse Chuck Taylor Pack, a limited-edition sneaker collection celebrating three of the anime’s most iconic characters—Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Gaara. Set to release on May 22, 2025, the collection will be available via Converse.com and select global retailers.​
Naruto Chuck Taylor
The Naruto-inspired Chuck Taylor features a vibrant Pale Magma orange canvas upper, accented with black laces and the Eight Trigrams Sealing symbol across the sidewall. A metallic shuriken badge replaces the traditional Converse logo, while the heel plate mimics Naruto’s Hidden Leaf Village forehead protector.​
Sasuke Chuck Taylor
Sasuke’s design showcases a clean white upper with purple rope-style laces, reflecting his attire during the Orochimaru arc. The Cursed Seal of Heaven is prominently displayed, and a blue heel stripe adds contrast. Like Naruto’s pair, it features a 3D metallic shuriken patch, and the heel plate bears a scratched-out Hidden Leaf insignia, symbolizing Sasuke’s departure from the village.​
Gaara Chuck Taylor
Gaara’s sneaker comes in a deep red hue, with the kanji for “love” stitched on the collar. A cracked sole texture represents his sand-based powers, and the heel plate displays the Hidden Sand Village symbol. The design captures Gaara’s transformation from a feared jinchÅ«riki to a respected leader.​
This collaboration marks a significant moment for anime and sneaker enthusiasts, blending the rich storytelling of Naruto Shippuden with Converse’s classic design. Each pair offers a unique homage to its respective character, making them a must-have for fans and collectors alike.​
