Different cities. Different stories. One pair of Chucks.

Created during the 24-hour Generathon #2 in Paris, Make It Yours is a Converse commercial concept exploring how youth cultures around the world transform the same iconic product into something personal.

Concept & creative direction

The film moves between characters, cities and subcultures, with Converse Chuck Taylors as the visual thread. Paris and its banlieue, Brazil, New York and Tokyo meet skate, dirt-bike, nightlife and streetwear influences. A raw, handheld 35mm-inspired look keeps the imagery tactile, warm and slightly imperfect. Different cities. Different stories. Converse. Make it yours.
