It’s no secret that Converse has spent the last couple of seasons elevating its footwear options. From collaborating with designers to jumping onto the sneaker-loafer trend, Converse has taken the steps to create some of the most exciting releases in recent seasons. This time, Converse is again taking on their loafers for a new launch that pays homage to their famed Chuck Taylors. In their latest loafers, Converse merges the sophistication of a timeless loafer with the style of their historic sneakers. While a more subdued version of the sneaker-loafer trend than other similar launches, this shoe is truly the best of both styles. This time, Converse is taking on the penny loafer and remixing it for another generation, while still making it the ultimate timeless shoe.

Time to elevate your style with Converse’s loafers

In its new All-Star Coinloafer, Converse takes aspects from its famed sneaker and transforms it into the newest dress shoe your wardrobe needs. In traditional loafer style, the All-Star Coinloafer features a laceless slip-on style with a durable canvas upper. The rubber toe cap and diamond-patterned outsole add subtle pieces from the sneakers, while refined details like the penny slot elevate the look. For this release, Converse is launching the loafer in a Black/White color combination that utilizes color blocking on the tongue, as well as an all-black option. The loafer is available in select Converse retailers, while it is still awaiting an official launch on the Converse webstore. This new hybrid shoe from Converse is the perfect middle ground for any event, made with the timelessness of a loafer and the edge of a sneaker.
