The Converse Run Star Trainer, a rising star on the footwear scene, just got the VIP treatment from none other than Swarovski. Following its successful debut in June, Converse is showering the Run Star Trainer with a dazzling array of Swarovski crystals.
This isn’t your average Run Star Trainer. We’re talking luxury. Forget the traditional nylon and suede construction – this iteration features a silky satin and velvet upper in a rich emerald green that perfectly complements the sparkling Swarovski embellishments. The crystals, meticulously applied in a variety of sizes, make each shoe unique, a special edition for discerning Converse collectors.
Despite the glamorous makeover, the Converse Run Star Trainer with Swarovski Crystals retains the model’s signature retro charm. The inspiration for the low-top silhouette comes directly from Converse’s performance footwear archives, resulting in a timeless, flat-soled design. Functionality wasn’t sacrificed for style, either. Converse envisioned the Run Star Trainer as the perfect balance of on-trend looks and all-day comfort, achieved with a triple-layered memory foam insole.
The Swarovski treatment comes at a price. Unlike the standard Run Star Trainer, which retails for $90, this limited-edition version comes with a $300 price tag. But for those who appreciate a touch of sparkle on their feet, the extra cost may be worth it.
The Converse Run Star Trainer with Swarovski Crystals dropped on December 13th and is available exclusively on Nike’s SNKRS app and Converse’s website. So if you’re looking to up your sneaker game with a luxurious, crystal-encrusted twist, this collaboration might be the perfect fit.
