Watch Tyler, The Creator Make His Own Converse One Star

In new Viceland show, Nuts + Bolts, we see the musician and sock mogul explore his interests while learning to create outside of his wheelhouse. The first episode saw Tyler make his own stop motion video; the second sees him pay  a visit to try his hand at making a .

Before getting into it, Converse drop some knowledge bombs on the artist. He gets a crash course in the brand’s origins as a rubber company, and is told – for the first time, somehow – that the All Star used to be a basketball shoe. He then voices his discontent that samples are made in size 9 (something even the employee building on the shoe’s last couldn’t explain), and plays with a laser cutter before getting down to business with a sewing machine. Turns out that for someone so practised at the piano, Tyler’s hand coordination is lacking when sewing.
