When asked by Girls United how old cartoons and Y2K styles are making a comeback in the fashion industry, the Converse spokesperson did not hesitate in excitement to share what the brand has been up to lately. “In fact, Converse partnered with Pokémon on a collection earlier this year in celebration of Pokémon’s 25th anniversary,” the spokesperson said. “It’s only natural that as Millennials and Gen-Z age, we’ll see more nostalgia from those generations resurface in the industry.”
