Converse x Wonka Converse All Star High Line "Egret" Oompa Loompa

Converse celebrates the release of the ‘Wonka’ 2023 film with a fun footwear capsule, giving you the chance to channel your inner Oompa Loompa. If you know anything about Roald Dahl's small orange creations, then you'll know they stay dripped from head to toe, making them a great source of inspiration to use on the Converse Converse All Star High Line "Egret". If you're a true OG and fan of the famous 1964 children’s novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, then picking up a pair of "Oompa Loompa" Converse is a no brainer. The third film adaptation serves as a prequel to the book, revolving around Willy Wonka’s origin before establishing his mega chocolate factory. The Wonka Converse “Oompa Loompa” is a tribute to the factory workers from Loompaland, paying homage to the white-eyebrow-ed fellas.

This playful take on the staple Converse Chuck 70 flaunts a deep orange hairy suede that resembles Wonka's Oompa Loompa pals. Meanwhile, the 15mm chunky furry laces are an interesting addition, representing the Loompa's curly green hair which only the little fella's could pull off. The iconic All Star logo patch on the inner ankle adopts the same orange suede base with debossed typical Chuck Taylor branding. Hidden on in the inner tongue of the left foot lies a quote stating, “Never let them steal your dreams”, the perfect message to give you a boost as you lace these up for the day. On the other hand, the right foot bears the usual Converse print, with the "Players Name" section filled in with white "Wonka" signature, hinting that the head of the chocolate factory might secretly catch buckets.

The extra detailing doesn't stop there either, with a custom inner lining that takes its palette from the brown and white pinstripe turtleneck that the Oompa Loompas' don. The heel license plates also get a movie make-over, reading "Wonka" on the left foot in the movie's cursive font. Landing in a paisley print box, we reckon this cute pair of "Oompa Loompa" Chuck 70s is well worth a cop!
