Charli XCX is another fan of Converse, and the latest musician to join forces with the shoe brand. “I wear my Chucks so much they have holes in them, so I was really excited to work with Converse so I could get a new pair. They’re iconic,” Charli said in a statement announcing the partnership on Friday (Oct. 25).

Charli joins Converse alongside fellow recording artists such as Tyler, The Creator, Billie Eilish and Lamar’s pgLang.
