Converse with a twist on the classic, and four styles full of individuality.

The classic "All Star," "Jack Purcell," and the maniacally coveted "Chuck Toggle," known as the "rare berth. These timeless masterpieces have been rearranged in a modern way to make a new appearance. We asked four people active in different fields to coordinate these four pairs, each with its own personality, with their current mood.

Do you usually wear Converse sneakers?

I often wear leather "Jack Purcell" shoes. I also wear "10 SAGBOX" custom-made slip-ons and "Weapon," which I was involved in.

Jack Purcell," which you often wear, is now available in a woodland camo pattern. How do you feel about wearing them?

Among camo patterns, woodland camo in particular gives the impression of having strong colors, so I don't often choose it.... However, this one blends in easily because of its calm coloring. The raw-colored sole is also vintage-like, and if I saw it in a thrift store, I would ask, "Is this dead stock? I would ask if they were dead stock if I saw them in a thrift store. The logo on the soles also has a military-inspired color scheme, which is cool.

The "REACT HD" cup insole, with its superior lightweight cushioning, is another feature of these shoes.

I usually wear sneakers with React Cup insoles, and they really don't tire me out. It's as if my feet, not my hands, are stretched out (laughs).

What is the point of today's coordination?

I chose an aloha shirt with a seasonal feel but in a tone that matches the military color of the sneakers. Underneath are cargo pants, but I wanted something modern, as old clothes would be too into it.

What other coordination styles would suit you?

I want to keep it as simple as possible so that the sneakers can take center stage.

JACK PURCELL CAMO RH ¥7,500+TAX
Woodland camo is printed across the entire upper of the Jack Purcell. The logo on the black-based outsole is also in khaki and orange military colors. This pair can be worn for both men and women, and can be used as a styling point or as an off-duty pair.
