Many of you may remember the black "One Star Loafer" that NEXUSⅦ made a special order for Converse in 2022. The "One Star HS D / NX," or "One Star Deck Shoes," to be released this time is one of the models in the same lineage.
The model that became the base was the "Marine Star" that was produced in Japan under a license contract with the "Converse Company" in the U.S. from the late 1980s to the 1990s, and its name is "Marine Star. This time, the last based on the "All Star" is adopted, and it is a hybrid model.
The upper material adopts the cotton canvas material seen in the model at that time, and the shoelace is 100% cotton specification, and also uses the star-shaped toe guard seen in "One Star Canvas", and the feature is that the familiar star is arranged in "One Star" in the heel portion.
