Converse Run Star Trainer

Role: Concept, Art Direction

Team: Global Brand Creative

Context: Concept & art direction work for the launch of the new Converse Global Run Star Trainer, featuring Jess Xu. This shoe is for embracing & experimenting with your identity & style range, whenever you want. For this campaign, we created five distinct identity world’s for her to live in. These worlds were inspired by the shift in younger generations actions who embrace their fluid style identities or interest of theirs by the day, and aren’t afraid to be someone new. In each world, there was a Run Star Trainer for that. The Run Star Trainer is For Every Version of You.

Lifestyle + product stills and motion assets launched globally in North America, Western Europe, Asia Pacific, and in Global Partner Markets, across digital, retail, OOH, and social platforms.
