Naohiro Fujisaki’s streetwear brand Meanswhile has collaborated with Converse to bring an updated urban look to its 1985 running shoe, the Odessa.The collab includes a revamping of the shoe’s signature side lacing system, with the Meanswhile pair, dubbed the “OSS CP,” featuring a more technical shoe lace lock system “SPLC.” As a brand, Meanswhile aims to create products through the lens of “tools that are closest to the body,” with utility at the core.Designed for urban use, the pair features a suede upper and heel that has been treated to be water-resistant. Meanswhile shared that the OSS CP is part of a greater “CONVERSE CAMPING SUPPLY” collection and that the sneaker will be available in two different colorways — namely white and light grey.Set to launch July 14, the OSS CP will be available for 23,100 yen [$160 USD] including tax on both Converse and Meanswhile’s Japan-based sites.See more details on the release in the post by Meanswhile below.
