NIKE, INC. INTERNSHIP SUPPLY CHAIN & OPERATIONS

 Overview

Become a part of the Converse team

Converse is the story of a sneaker that started on the court and moved to the stage and street.  We’re a company ready for change and that’s who we hire: the most malleable, the most innovative, and the most creative. Our clothes and sneakers have been worn by rebels, rockers, rappers, artists, thinkers, and individuals. So that’s why we hire individuals. So, we’re speaking the same language.

 Who Converse represents is who Converse hires. If you’re one of a kind, you should try us on.

 The beauty of the Converse brand lies in the simple truth that by loving us, you’re really digging all the original, daring, disruptive, spirited stuff about yourself. Our stories are your stories; they live at the core of our brand and inspire everything that we do. Telling these stories connects our consumer to our brand, gives them something to identify with, to love, to take along for the ride. We’d be nowhere without them and we like it that way.
