Beams Japan got in a nice new Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Hi. Instead of canvas, this is an All Star Suede Hi with a classic camouflage upper all over the sneaker. The material certainly gives the sneaker a more premium look and feel!

In Japan, Converse released a special Chuck Taylor Christmas pack. Part of the pack are two Chuck Taylor Hi’s, coming with a classic tartan pattern. One features the pattern on the lining and the other one on the upper. Both come with clear references to the Christmas season!

The latest Converse Chuck Taylor Hi’s have just been released at Flauge. The uppers of these have an interesting print, imitating snakeskin. The sneakers come in black and white. The black one has purple accents and the white one has red accents.
The nice thing about these is, that they did get a special treatment, at the same time they do not jump into your eyes right away. Check out the white one after the jump.

Celebrating their 100th anniversary, Converse will be releasing 100 sneakers from December ‘07 until March ‘08. Converse Japan has released a website entirely dedicated to the occasion and now displays first products out of the collection. The Chuck Taylor, Jack Purcell, as well as the Chevron and Star sneakers all come in special colorways and materials in this first drop. Via Kix-Files.
Overall nothing too crazy so far. Special collaborations are still coming, which will be more interesting. Nevertheless, check out some of line-up already now after the jump.

It has been a while since we have heard from False, but it looks like a lot of work has been put into the brand since we last reported about it.
FALSE is an independent fashion duo dedicated to peddling high quality individually hand-crafted garments. Brainchild to creative couple Le Messie & Amanda Scully, FALSE is meant to bring about an essence of reality amidst all our fiction. Le Messie digs deep into seeded meanings with his designs based on mystical imagination and the fall of society overall infused with positive extracts.
Each piece in their collections is individually hand-screened, hand-finished and stitched on each garment. Great care and attention is given to each garment. All their labels, patches and various packaging are crafted by their own hands making their line of works inherently different from most others.
Previous collections consisted mainly of t-shirts and also some denim. Season 4 presents the largest line-up of products to date. You can find t-shirts, crewneck sweaters, sneakers and also a M-65 jacket in the new collection.
The collection is now available in the False Online Store and is also on its way to accounts around the globe. Check out the entire Season 4 after the jump.

Futura Laboratories will release their own version of the All-Star sneaker. It comes in black and in white and features the iconic Futura 2000 font all over the sneakers. The sneakers come nicely packaged in matching shoe boxes.
Stless will release the sneakers on the 16th of November.

Converse Japan recently released some interesting new shoes. They just dropped the Jack Purcell Fake-Lace Slip-On and the Chuck Taylor AS Layer Hi.
The Chuck Taylor AS Layer Hi basically combines the Chuck Taylor lo with the Chuck Taylor Hi. It is constructed like the Chuck Taylor Lo, but then there is a contrasting white part around the ankles. It comes in two colorways.
Another interesting addition is the Jack Purcell Fake-Lace Slip-On. It looks exactly like a Jack Purcell also with the iconic outer sole and the toe cap, but the laces are only printed onto the upper and in reality it is a slip-on. This one also comes in two colorways.
Both sneakers have been released at Flauge. Check out the other colorways after the jump.

Next year Converse celebrates their 100th anniversary. To commemorate the occasion the first in a line-up of collaborations will be with Hiroshi Fujiwara’s Fragment Design. We have shown some pictures of this collaboration before and now here some better pics via Urban Look.
The two parties worked on a Converse Chuck Taylor Lo and Hi, both featuring a black toe cap, black labels with the round ankle label being in leather and on the back heel a Fragment logo embroidery in white. As with most Fujiwara designs – small and smart little changes, always on point.
Check out detailed pictures after the jump.

Ian Ginoza presents some promo exclusive Converse Chuck Taylor Lo’s that they made for Kicks/Hi and St. Alfred. The outcome of the Kicks Hawaii ones is just amazing with the toe cap featuring the same design as the upper. Looks really hot.

The St. Alfred model comes with an upper of embossed epi leather, kind of reminds us of Louis Vuitton. Both models are very strong, but since its promo we are not sure these will ever release. We’ll keep you posted. More pictures after the jump of both sneakers.

Here a look at what Converse will be putting out any day now in Japan. They will release some really nice Chuck Taylor Hi’s, that come featuring both suede and patent leather mixed on the upper. Other Chuck Taylor Hi’s come with some subtle graphics all over. Last but not least they will also release some simple and basic Jack Purcells.
They will soon be available at Flauge, so keep your eyes open. Check them out in detail after the jump.
