The Streetwise Converse Mary Jane Is a Powerful All-Generation Flatster
The ballet flat trend isn’t dying down, and Converse is making sure it stays interesting.
Say hello to the Run Star Trainer Ballet Flat, a silhouette that ditches the dainty for something a little more daring.
Converse has dabbled in ballet-inspired shoes before, but this time, it’s all about chunky sole energy and streetwise edge.
Canvas up top keeps things classic, but suede overlays and that iconic Star Chevron take things firmly into Converse territory.
Oh, and the triple-layer memory foam sockliner? That’s comfort on a whole new level, no pinched toes, no flimsy feel, just all-day support that doesn’t quit. Proof that half the shoe doesn’t necessarily mean half the support (or half the attitude).
Elastic bands lock in the fit so you can actually move, while the traction rubber outsole keeps you upright. Ballet flats may be everywhere, but leave it to Converse to serve up a version that’s actually built for running your day, not just running errands.
The Run Star Trainer Ballet Flat is available for $75 on Converse's website.
