After a first preview in September, the latest collaboration between Converse and Number (N)ine has released this week.

“As part of the 1st String program, Converse has collaborated with Takahiro Miyashita’s now defunct label, Number (N)ine. As his label was winding down, Takahiro worked to perfect this rendition of the obscure Odessa running shoe of the 70s and 80s. Perhaps a bit ahead of it’s time in those days, this shoe thankfully returns. The shoe features a textured deerskin upper and asymmetrical lacing system, along with leather mudguards and translucent sole.”

The sneakers are now in stock at Haven.

More detailed images of the sneakers follow after the jump.

Once again Number (N)ine collaborates with Converse, this time presenting the Odessa sneaker.

“The unique design was inspired by the Odessa, a Converse running trainer from the ’80s. For fall ’10, Miyashita has worked his magic on a modern interpretation of the Odessa – and here it is.

Similar to the previous releases, the sneakers feature premium deer skin uppers with smooth leather lining on the inside.

The thing that really sets them apart though, is the soles. The Chucks and One Stars used the ubiquitous vulcanised soles, while these are fitted with comfy running-orientated soles.

Not something that you see everyday on a collab Converse release; they’re fitted with translucent outsoles for good measure too.”

The sneaker will be released soon in two colorways. You can check out the sneaker in detail after the jump.

Quite unexpectedly, Number (N)ine reappears even though the brand has been closed not long ago. This time they worked with Converse for Spring 2010 and it will actually be a collaboration through-out the entire year. Definitely exciting news, especially for Number (N)ine fans.

“Converse announces its Number (N)ine for Converse collection. Some of the last Number (N)ine products available from Takahiro Miyashita’s highly sought-after label, the collection includes a Chuck Taylor All Star and a One Star shoes that will be available in February and will be followed up later in the year with new versions and Takahiro’s take on the Converse Odessa trainer.

The collaboration seems especially fitting for Takahiro who sees Converse as a sort of beginning and an end. “My childhood started with Converse” he says, noting that with the closing of Number (N)ine, that Converse has a special existence in relation to both his youth and the end of Number (N)ine.

Converse worked closely with Takahiro to create his interpretations of the Chuck Taylor All Star and One Star shoes, which Takahiro considers “authentic and permanent”. Taking a hybrid approach, Takahiro chose to incorporate the asymmetrical lacing of the 1970 and ‘80s era Converse Odessa shoe into his design. The Odessa shoe, which was originally designed for running, was super innovative for its time and a shoe from the Converse archives that Takahiro has long admired. Following the Chuck Taylor All Star and One Star versions, Converse will debut the Number (N)ine version of the Odessa trainer in early 2010.

The collection includes an oxford version of the Chuck Taylor All Star shoe with premium deer skin, yellow shag suede uppers, asymmetrical lacing and a metallic gold star on the shoe’s heel. A One Star version is also available in premium deer skin white shag suede uppers, asymmetrical lacing and a silver metallic star on the shoe’s heel. The shoes global launch is set for March 13, 2010 at select retailers globally. A full retailer list also follows after the jump.”

Takahiro Miyashita of Number (N)ine worked with photographer Charles Peterson on a collection of garments bearing images from the early days of grunge. Drawing from Peterson’s book Touch Me I’m Sick, Miyashita printed fabric with photos of mosh pits and crowd-surfing, creating a camo-like collage pattern that adorns T-shirts, denim, and punk formalwear by way of a tuxedo and satin jazz shoes. We’ll be sad to see this label go – though word on the street is Miyashita will continue working with Peterson post Number (N)ine. Now available at Number (N)ine.
