Converse continues its legacy of championing self-expression by bringing together established and emerging creatives from more than 18 cities around the world in a new multi-platform brand campaign, “Create Now. Create Next.”

The campaign presents more than 20 creatives as they share their artistic vision through a series of individual, six-second films.
