Converse launched the Run Star Trainer, a new sneaker designed for women in India. The Run Star Trainer is purpose-built for modern women who lead dynamic lives, combining the brand’s legacy with today’s versatile fashion demands.
The new sneaker is an evolution of Converse’s existing lineup, rooted in the brand’s authentic sports heritage. Inspired by over 20 classic designs—including footwear originally made for karate, fencing, soccer, track, and even pole steeple—the Run Star Trainer reimagines these styles to create a sneaker that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
Aiming to maximize the many dimensions of contemporary life, the Run Star Trainer offers a balance of comfort and style, suitable for day-to-night wear with any outfit. The sneaker features sleek lines and bold outsoles, with a tread pattern inspired by the Chuck Taylor All Star and extended through the heel, stamped with the Star logo from the Run Star Hike, first introduced in 2019.
The materials used include a mix of nylon, suede, and leather, offering rich dimensionality. The sneaker is available in five colorways—Black, Egret, Blue, Red, and Golden Wren—allowing for a wide range of expressions.
Converse Inc., based in Boston, Massachusetts, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NIKE, Inc. Established in 1908 as a rubber company, Converse introduced its first canvas basketball sneaker, which became a symbol of youth culture worldwide. Today, Converse is a progressive footwear and apparel brand that supports creativity and individuality. Its iconic sneakers, including the Chuck Taylor All Star, One Star, and Weapon, continue to empower self-expression in creative, basketball, and skateboarding communities.
