Tokyo-based menswear label nonnative has partnered with fashion brand WACKO MARIA and footwear giant Converse to launch a limited-edition All Star Hi silhouette.
The new model combines both Japanese brands' signature elements to offer a contemporary take on the all-time classic sneaker. The collab was first teased on WACKO MARIA's Instagram, where the brand posted images and videos of the new sneakers.
The collaborative All Star 100 Hi's are delivered in a dyed and washed canvas upper and equipped with a military-inspired zipper. Interestingly, wearers will have the option to either zip up their shoes or tie them closed, as the model presents both possibilities. In addition, both brands' logos are located on the back of the shoes' tongues while Converse's iconic tag remains on the ankle.
