417 Edifice discovered the true identity of the Converse All Star Kup.

Converse is a clean, timeless, standard sneaker. It is thanks to the existence of the "All Star" that this image has been established. Did you know that Converse has a line called "All Star Kup"? This "All Star Kup" is said to be taking over the feet of adults, especially those in their 30s. In fact, "417 Edifice" was the first to take notice of this. They have had the "All Star Kup" on store shelves since it was first released and now carry it as a standard item. What is the appeal of these shoes? Let's take a look at the reason for its popularity at the 417 EDIFICE Shibuya Store.

What makes All Star Kup different?

Converse's "ALL STAR COUPE" sneakers have been very popular recently. These sneakers are popular among adults rather than young people. The reason for this can be summed up in one word: "luxury. Let's take a closer look at the "Leather ALL STAR COUPE OX," the most popular and standard of the series, and see what details make it so appealing.

1. Dressy atmosphere created by leather

Converse sneakers are usually made of canvas, but the Leather All Star Kup OX is made of smooth leather with a smooth texture.

The glossy, tight look sets it apart from other sneakers. They are tight when styled rough, neat when dressed up, and go well with any outfit.

2. Ingenuity in pursuit of quality is everywhere.

The holes for laces are not fitted with doves, and the tongue has been left untrimmed. This minimalism creates a sense of luxury and also makes the shoes easy to match.

The gold logo shines brightly amidst the same color scheme. The unevenness of the foil stamping adds a touch of elegance. The brand logo stamped on the insole is a design exclusive to the "Kup" series.

3. A good combination of All Star and leather shoes

The toe cap is kept as in the All Star, but the color is not switched and is kept low key, creating a nice atmosphere without being too assertive.

Although they look like leather shoes, they feel just like sneakers. The padded cuff, soft polyurethane lining, and lightweight, cushioned "E.V.A. cup insole" make them light on their feet.

The removable cup insole is also a key feature to keep them clean.

The manufacturing method is not the crimp method often used for sneakers, but rather the upper and sole are sewn together like leather shoes. This Mackay method of manufacturing allows the shoes to become more comfortable as they are worn in.
