Converse is bringing its iconic Chuck Taylor All Star into the workplace with the introduction of 'At Your Service', a new footwear collection developed for people working in hospitality and other fast-paced service environments.
To mark the launch, Converse invited CULTED to Paris, where we visited the brand's headquarters for a closer look at the new collection. We also had the opportunity to put the footwear to the test, stepping into the kitchen at a Parisian restaurant to prepare our own dinner while wearing the new designs.

Among the key updates is a diamond-pattern outsole engineered for enhanced slip resistance, helping provide grip on surfaces where spills and moisture are common. Converse has also incorporated its CX cushioning technology, offering additional underfoot support for workers who spend extended periods on their feet.
The collection is available in both canvas and leather constructions, each designed with different workplace demands in mind. Canvas styles feature breathable uppers with water- and oil-repellent properties, while leather versions offer an easy-to-clean finish suited to environments where practicality is essential. All styles are certified to meet or exceed ASTM SRO and ISO occupational footwear standards for slip resistance and workplace performance.
Despite the technical adjustments, Converse has maintained the defining design elements of the Chuck Taylor All Star, ensuring the collection remains wearable outside working hours. It's an approach that brings additional functionality to one of the brand's most established silhouettes without significantly changing its appearance.
With 'At Your Service', Converse is expanding the Chuck Taylor's place in everyday footwear, offering an alternative to conventional work shoes for those who want the familiarity of a classic sneaker alongside workplace-specific performance.
The Converse 'At Your Service' collection launched on November 3 and is available through Converse.com and selected retail partners.
