The long-awaited full black CONVERSE ALL STAR SK
The sudden release of the ALL STAR SK the other day caused a stir in the skate industry. As a Converse fan, I had completely given up on the idea of ever seeing the ALL STAR skate shoes in Japan.
If you think "these are just regular Converse," this is an eye-opener. The All Star updated for skating is amazing.
CONVERSE SKATEBOARDING ALL STAR SK HI - ¥17,600 (tax in)
The upper is made of high-quality suede that can withstand hard use. It features classic details from the 1960s to 1980s, such as reinforced fabric and arched stitching, and firmly covers the outer surface, which is prone to rubbing during tricks. It boasts high durability without compromising on design.
The insole is equipped with a special cup insole called "REACT SK" that provides excellent shock absorption and stability. It firmly holds the heel and provides a comfortable fit and support.
Not just skaters, This may be one of the reasons why skate shoes are recommended for people who work standing up for long periods of time (hairdressers, apparel salespeople, etc.). Of course, they are also reliable for long periods of walking.
Even with all these features packed into it, the exterior remains the same as the original. The All Star's streamlined form is not compromised, and performance has been dramatically improved.
This full black look is also really cool. It's easy to see why celebrities and artists around the world continue to wear these shoes, no matter how wealthy they are.
You want to lace up your All Stars tightly, and you can't tell they have a thick REACT insole inside.
CONVERSE SKATEBOARDING ALL STAR SK OX LO - ¥17,050 (tax in)
The LO cut was also released at the same time. Fans of the All-Stars are divided into LO and HI fans, so choose whichever you prefer.
If you have never put on skates, we recommend starting now.
Converse's skateboard line has finally launched in earnest.
Based on Chevron & Star's archive model, this classic design is fused with cutting-edge functionality to support skaters, creating a collection that harmonizes tradition and innovation at a high level.
While inheriting the aesthetics of Converse cultivated over its long history, the shoes pursue the durability, stability, and comfort required for the modern skate scene. They have evolved beyond the boundaries of mere sports shoes to become deeply rooted in culture and lifestyle.
"Redefining classics and connecting them to the future" - this is the most noteworthy skate shoe brand today, embodying this philosophy.
