Converse are shutting down Shoreditch to celebrate the One Star. As the brand prepares to drop the all-new One Star collection, Converse are taking to London to open the doors to the Converse One Star Hotel, five floors of anti-luxury accomodation providing the ultimate union of sneaker, skate, style and music culture.

Unlike any other hotel you've ever experienced before, the One Star Hotel exists to give its guests an authentic taste of London's street culture. Converse are promising staff with attitude, zero sleep for guests, loud neighbours and queues round the block for the gift shop.

Located in the heart of Shoreditch, the One Star Hotel celebrates counter-culture and this generation's anti-heroes with rooms curated by the likes of A$AP Nast, Yung Lean and MadeMe; live music into the early hours from acts including IAMDDB, Princess Nokia and Slowthai; workshops and panels featuring Paria Farzaneh and The Basement; and a long list of exclusive sneaker drops that will only be available at the One Star Hotel.

The Converse One Star Hotel opens to the public on February 16th and 17th but before then, COMPLEX went inside the ultimate resting place for sneakerheads to experience the Hotel first hand.

Take an early look through all five floors of the Converse One Star hotel below.
