Converse, LAIKA Team on Collection for ‘Coraline’ 15th Anniversary

Fans attending the theatrical re-release of the beloved stop-motion film will get exclusive, early access to the footwear and apparel starting August 15. 

Converse and LAIKA are teaming up again, this time to offer a unique collection of footwear and apparel inspired by the studio’s Oscar-nominated, fan-favorite stop-motion animated film Coraline.  

Celebrating the cult-classic's 15th anniversary, the “Converse x Coraline” collection brings together scenes, characters, and patterns from memorable moments of the film, and will include adult footwear, kids’ footwear, and apparel. 

“We’re proud to yet again partner with Converse, this year in celebration of Coraline’s 15th anniversary and global re-release in cinemas,” said David Burke, LAIKA’s Chief Marketing & Operations Officer. “The Converse team’s creativity and collaborative spirit make them the perfect partner for LAIKA — and we’re confident this collection will thrill generations of Coraline and Converse fans alike.”   

Based on the novel by beloved author Neil Gaiman, Coraline tells the story of a young girl named Coraline who walks through a secret door in her new home and discovers an alternate version of her life. On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to her real life – only much better. But when this wondrously off-kilter, fantastical adventure turns dangerous, and her counterfeit parents try to keep her forever, she must count on her resourcefulness, determination, and bravery to save her family and get back home. 

Attendees of the theatrical re-release of Coraline (U.S. only) can pre-order the LAIKA exclusive “Star Sweater” Chuck 70 via on-screen QR code during the pre-show slides. The film, which boasts a 3D remaster, is in theaters now

The full Converse x Coraline collection will be available Holiday 2024. 

The last limited theatrical re-release of Coraline in 2023 was a massive hit, grossing a combined $4.91 million at the U.S. box office over just two days. The feature was re-colored and remastered for the special event.
