In celebration of the 15th anniversary of Coraline, Converse and LAIKA have teamed for another collaborative collection featuring footwear and apparel inspired by the stop-motion film’s imaginative and haunting world.

Coraline follows a young girl who discovers a secret world behind a hidden door. Its themes of individuality and self-discovery are a natural fit with the Chuck Taylor All Star, a shoe known as “a cultural emblem of self-expression.” 

This limited-edition collection brings the film’s moments, characters, and motifs to life by applying them to the Chuck Taylor All Star’s canvas. The five Chuck models include:

  • The "Other World" Chuck Taylor All Star, featuring a vibrant graphic of the film's fantastical garden, rainbow foil accents, and a Seeing Stone-inspired eyelet.
  • The "Other Wybie" Chuck Taylor All Star, inspired by Coraline's friend Wybie, includes a black-coated canvas upper, reflective accents, textured laces, and a button eye graphic patch.
  • The Coraline Chuck Taylor All Star EVA Lift, designed for kids, features an all-over star print inspired by Coraline's sweater and a dragonfly patch.
  • The Coraline Chuck Taylor All Star 1V, also designed for kids, features an all-over star print, a button-moon ankle patch, and a Coraline doll graphic.
  • The Coraline Chuck Taylor All Star 2V Infant features an all-over star print, cat and mice graphics, and cobranded details.

Apparel items, including a t-shirt and hoodie, round out the collection. The t-shirt features a puff print doll graphic on the front and Coraline back graphic, while the hoodie incorporates embroidered buttonholes, a Beldam hand in rubber ink, and a sleeve graphic.

LAIKA’s recent theatrical re-release of Coraline in remastered 3-D set box office records in multiple territories around the world.

The Converse x Coraline collection will be available beginning November 21.
