Name: Converse Japan All Star Yunomi HiColorway: White/NavySKU: 31319350210MSRP: ¥11,000 JPY (approx. $70 USD)Release Date: September 25Where to Buy: Converse JapanConverse Japan’s All Star Yunomi Hi turns a piece of everyday tableware into a full-coverage sneaker graphic, printing the motif of the yunomi teacup across a canvas high-top. The release lands on a renewed version of the All Star spec and treats the upper as a canvas for a densely detailed, distinctly Japanese print.The graphic is the whole story here. Converse Japan draws on the yunomi, the style of teacup familiar to anyone who has browsed a Japanese souvenir shop, and translates its imagery onto the shoe. Teacups of this kind are frequently decorated with kanji built on the fish radical, and the print leans into that tradition, scattering those characters across the upper.Woven into the design are two additional touches that tie the graphic back to the brand. One is a kanji rendering of “all star,” writing the model’s name in Japanese characters rather than the usual Latin script. The other is a set of hand-drawn stars worked in among the text, a looser, sketched counterpoint to the printed characters that nods to the All Star’s core emblem.Underneath the graphic, the construction stays true to the silhouette. The shoe is built on a renewed All Star spec, with a canvas upper over a rubber outsole in the high-top cut that has defined the model for decades.
