We present you the upcoming releases of Converse Japan. Once again the brand did minimal changes to their classic silhouettes, resulting in some great footwear and once again we regret that these styles will not make it over to us.

Most interesting in this new drop are the All Star Upside-Mono Hi and Lo, featuring Converse branding and toe cap matching the upper color. The result is a very clean looking sneaker in both cases. They come in several fresh colorways. The Jack Purcell also comes in some great colorways, featuring camouflage patterns and exotic leather uppers.

It is definitely always interesting to see with what the Japanese market comes up. Of course we often feature items that are hard to get hold of outside of Japan, but that should not be the case with Converse and when would something like this ever make it over? It might be too experimental for many, but at least they are trying.

The All Star once again shows how flexible the original design is. Converse Japan turned it into a an actually pretty decent looking winter boot, similar in design to many high end leather boots on the market. These are now available at Flauge.

More detailed images follow after the jump.

Converse, with an assist from Utah Jazz star Kyle Korver, today announced the launch of MyChucks, a contest inviting participants to design a Chuck Taylor® All Star® shoe with the chance to win the ultimate prize of having their shoe produced by Converse and sold exclusively by Eastbay. MyChucks gives contestants the chance to bring their own creativity to the Converse canvas and showcase their design to the world.
As part of the contest, Kyle Korver submitted his own design of the Chuck Taylor All Star shoe which will be featured online, along with a video of him designing his shoe and explaining the process. Korver’s shoe features pinstripes to represent all of the people in his life, and a red stripe to represent himself and his desire to be an original. Converse will produce 226 pairs of the shoe, which pays homage to Korver’s jersey number 26, and will be donated to the Kyle Korver Foundation.
To enter, contestants can visit mychucks.eastbay.com to download the entry kit which contains a silhouette of the Chuck Taylor All Star shoe and contest instructions. Participants need to submit a scanned image of their design and a 20-30 second video explaining their entry. Submissions will be placed in an online, public gallery where visitors can vote on each design.
The top five designs with the most votes will enter the final round of judging which is determined by the total number of votes, and the judging of artistic ability, creative expression and overall design by a panel from Converse and Eastbay. The Grand Prize will be announced on or about July 11, 2008 on mychucks.eastbay.com. The winner will be flown to Converse headquarters to work with designers and developers and create the final version of the shoe, which will be produced and sold on Eastbay.com beginning in January 2009.
