Converse Unveils "Stranger Things" Collection Ahead of the Final Season
Step into Hawkins with these two iconic silhouettes reworked for the Upside Down.
With Stranger Things entering its final act, Converse taps into the show’s unmistakable universe—nostalgic, chaotic, and supernatural—to rework two of its most iconic silhouettes: the Chuck 70 and the Weapon. The result is a limited-edition release that feels like a partnership straight out of Hawkins, shaped by the mischief, mystery, and mythology that defined the series.
Chuck 70: A Fan-Favorite Sneaker with ’80s Details
The Converse x Stranger Things Chuck 70 arrives with a distinctly lived-in character, echoing the grit of late-’80s suburbia. The distressed black canvas and burnished midsole set the tone, but it’s the layering of details that turns the classic into a collector's piece.
You’ll find a Demogorgon-warped All-Star patch, an embroidered “Rockin’ Robin” call sign, and tongue prints declaring “Hellfire Lives.” Even the inner liner—stamped with “Beam Me Up This Place Sucks!”—leans into the show’s irreverent humor. Character-coded add-ons round out the storytelling: a Hawkins Hawk lace jewel, Vecna-inspired laces, and a rubber chicken keychain that feels like a direct nod to the kids’ unpredictable energy.
The finishing touch: an Upside Down license plate on the heel, pulling the sneaker firmly into Stranger Things canon.
Weapon: A Retro Basketball Classic Reborn

Converse also revives the Weapon, a basketball icon from its ’80s archive, and infuses it with the series’ darker undertones. The premium leather upper is intentionally distressed, while sound-wave perforations on the toe hint at the eerie signals and static that haunt Hawkins Lab.
Inside, the references deepen. The lining is printed with newspaper clippings, the sockliners feature Vecna and the Mind Flayer, and the tongue label carries the Stranger Things branding with a graphic intensity fit for the show’s final countdown. Jewel details nod to retro lunchboxes and recording equipment—tiny clues designed to reward fans who love a good Easter egg.
Where to Buy the Converse x Stranger Things Collection
As audiences prepare to say goodbye to Stranger Things, Converse offers a wearable tribute—pairs that feel scuffed from bike rides, marked by late-night missions, and stitched with secrets only fans will catch. They’re built for everyday wear but carry the weight of a cultural moment.
The Stranger Things x Converse collection is now available at Converse Glorietta and converse.ph. Let the final season play out, but take a piece of Hawkins with you wherever you go.
