'Stranger Things' star Millie Bobby Brown's new customizable Converse line was inspired by female empowerment and self-expression
- Millie Bobby Brown's third Converse line is dropping this month.
- The actress collaborated with artist Pauline Wattanodom on designs inspired by expression and empowerment.
- The new collection is customizable and will be available in North America and Europe on March 15.
Actress Millie Bobby Brown announced her third Converse collection will drop this month in a range of fully customizable pairs designed with female empowerment and self-expression in mind.
The sneakers have drawings of hands giving pinky promises on them. Each hand is wearing a friendship bracelet, and the bracelets are intertwined.
"Empowered women empower women. The more people empower me, the more I want to empower people," Brown said in a press release to Seventeen Magazine. "That's a never-ending cycle of amazing women, like Pauline."
Pauline Wattanodom is a 20-year-old Bangkok-based artist who Brown selected from the Chuck Taylor All Star community to illustrate graphics for the sneakers.
In an interview with Converse All Stars, Brown said that Wattanodom's artwork send messages of positivity and strength. "That's everything I love and more," the actress said.
The duo worked together from concept to execution to decide on colors, materials, and graphics, according to Seventeen.
Previews of the collection show shoes in a pastel color palette and the same pinky-swear graphic on each pair. The collection includes high tops and platform sneakers, according to Seventeen.
"My design is inspired by the bond between friends, sisters, and women all over the world," Wattanodom told Converse All Stars.
Available on March 15, the sneakers will be customizable for each individual shopper, according to the product preview page. Patrons will have the option to change the color of the shoe canvas and laces.
Brown has been Converse's youngest collaborator since her debut line in 2019, according to Footwear News. She released her second line with the sneaker brand in August 2020.
