Styling and modelling this exclusive editorial, multi-hyphenate and creative force, Jordan Vickors, celebrates the staying power of the Converse Pro Leather sneaker.

Now, creatives are able to deftly negotiate the world of fashion, music and art without being required to define themselves in the limiting ways of the past. The world is the multi-hyphenate's oyster, and this broad dynamic offers ample opportunity to negotiate the contemporary fashion landscape with ease. A creative structure championed by the likes of Virgil Abloh and Kanye West, the ability to shirk definition and open yourself up to a vast multitude of opportunities increasingly appeals to those within the creative sector. After all, why limit yourself to one role within this varied cultural environment?

Enter Jordan Vickors. At the age of 25, the creative consultant, DJ, model, stylist and casting agent has built an impressive and broad resume of alternate skills and varied experience. Having deftly manoeuvred through the fashion industry to cultivate his own unique perspective, the multi-hyphenate has worked extensively for Stüssy, while his DJ duo, New Found Form, has provided the soundtrack to some of London's most exclusive parties. Collaborating with Converse for the launch of their latest Pro Leather sneakers in snakeskin sequins and pony hair, Jordan Vickors styles and models this exclusive editorial at London's premier contemporary luxury hotel, The Standard. A classic sneaker silhouette from the Converse archive, the Pro Leather sneaker was originally released in 1976. A mainstay on the hardwood courts before becoming a cult favourite amongst skateboarders, the Pro Leather has a longstanding legacy within the world of street fashion. To this day, the Pro Leather remains a statement of effortless cool and a nod to the heritage of OG basketball sneaker style - a true symbol of youth culture.

Reflecting the sneaker's status, Converse and Jordan Vickors team up to present a bespoke editorial highlighting the sneaker in this trio of fresh iterations. Styled with 1017 ALYX 9SM, Off-White, Gucci, Needles and more, it is clear that the Converse Pro Leather sneaker is here to stay.

I never thought I would be able to find a place where I fit in or that I’d be accepted, let alone a space for me to put all of my ideas out. I only had one real ambition and that was to make things. Didn’t matter what, as long as it had a tangible end result. I wanted to be a carpenter at one point just because I like working with different materials and through different mediums, I just like to design things.


I think because there is a need for it and a place for creatives to be able to do multiple things - Virgil definitely made that space more comfortable for me.

They all benefit each other creatively. The music enhances the things I work on in fashion and vice versa. However, there is no feeling like running your favourite record in front a hundreds of people! 


It’s made me work harder for sure, no one in London wants to pay you, everyone is super talented and knowledgeable so you have to put in the hours.

Go intern for somewhere you admire. And if they shut you down, keep applying. Save your money, buy as many books and magazines as possible, travel & make friends


I don’t like a fussy shoe, and this model is as simple as it gets. 


It’s timeless, and it’s the people’s shoe.
