Converse Japan highlights basketball with its latest reworked iteration of the ERX-400 EW HI sneaker model for the season. It is a stable silhouette for NBA players and the new shoe uses the same leather that is used to construct basketballs. The ERX-400 EW HI sneakers are designed in a full white hue and shine a spotlight on the texture.
It is attached to hang tags that are shaped like a basketball to emphasize the theme and celebrates the brand's history with an 80s-themed ENERGY WAVE midsole base foundation. Additionally, the pure white colorway also means that dirt and grime can be easily wiped off with water, similar to the way that basketballs are cleaned.
