Converse is a brand that needs no introduction, and the same goes forMillie Bobby Brown. Instead of having the desired impact combining the two, the commercial did the opposite.
Brown talked about attending an award show wearing the Converse sneakers and she pressed that a fellow actor poked fun at her for not wearing feminine footwear.
She said in theConverse commercial–
“This girl that was from a show, she came up to me and was like, ‘Oh, you’re wearing sneakers to an Award show?’ I was like, ‘Yep, that’s right.’ And then, I told her like, ‘I’m not expecting you to wear a tutu and a bow.’ It’s not illegal to wear Converse to an Award show. You can’t tell me how to be a girl.”
The driver of the vehicle remained off camera and she pointed out to Millie Bobby Brown that females are expected to behave in a stereotypical way.

Advertising Standards Authority Resolved The Matter
On November 7 of the same year, the ASA released a statement on their official website after closely observing the issue. They evaluated the setting of the commercial and ruled that it did not have the strength to create a controversy.
Advertising Standard Authority’s official website said –
“We noted the ad depicted a teenager sitting in the front passenger seat of a moving car while telling her story to the driver, who was out of shot. We considered that was a common and recognizable setting that many viewers, including children, would be familiar with. We considered viewers were therefore likely to pay little attention to the way she was sitting. For that reason, we concluded the ad did not condone or encourage an unsafe practice.”
