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.
