Believe It! Naruto and Converse Drop a Triple Threat

are channeling serious shinobi energy with their latest collaboration, teaming up with Naruto Shippuden for a three-pack of that pay tribute to some of the anime’s most legendary characters. The capsule celebrates Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Gaara with designs that blend the legendary canvas with hard-hitting references from the Hidden Leaf and beyond.

The Naruto edition leads the charge, coming in the trademark orange and accented by black hits and yellow highlights. A subtle Eight Trigrams seal nods to his Jinchūriki roots, while a distressed metallic heel plate reps the iconic Leaf Village headband. Throw in shuriken-stamped All Star logos and you’ve got a certified Hokage flex. Sasuke’s pair leans into his rogue Uchiha vibe, rocking a silver and navy base with thick purple laces that echo his waist rope. The black Cursed Seal of Heaven glows ominously on the heel, backed by custom branding. Gaara’s colourway runs deep crimson, stitched with the kanji for 'love' – a heavy symbol for fans who know his backstory. Tweed textures and a cracked midsole round out the desert-dusted design, giving it a gritty, battle-worn vibe.

While the Naruto Shippuden anime wrapped up in 2017, the saga continues through Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, which concluded its first anime run in 2023 after 293 episodes. The manga has since entered its second arc, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, with new chapters releasing monthly. Although the anime adaptation is currently on hiatus, fans remain hopeful for its return as the story progresses.

Retailing for $80 a pop, the Naruto x Converse collection drops May 22 via Converse and select retailers.
